"Ignorance is Bliss"

There are so many things I wish I never knew.
So many things that I swore I wouldn't do.
When I was little I wanted to grow up fast.
But that feeling has faded as many years have past.

I didn't know hate and the pain that it brings.
Or the Worlds pervertedness and other evil things.
I never would have thought of wanting to die.
When I was in pain it was ok for me to cry.

The words I hear and later I will say.
I wish I could cast each one of them away.
I guess it is true that ignorance is bliss.
Because that's one thing I sure do miss.
