SARAH MCLACHLAN - ADIA

Adia I Do Believe I Failed You
Adia I Know I've Let You Down
Don't You Know I Tried So Hard To Love You In My Way
It's Easy Let It Go

Adia I'm Empty Since You Left Me
Trying To Find A Way To Carry On
I Search Myself And Everyone To See Where We Went Wrong
There's No One Left To Finger
There's No One Her To Blame
There's No One Left To Talk To, Honey
And There Ain't No One To Bar Our Innocence

'Cause We Are Born Innocent
Believe Me Adia
We Are Still Innocent
It's Easy
We All Falter
Does It Matter?

Adia I Thought That We Could Make It
I Know I Can't Change The Way You Feel
I Leave You With Your Misery
Your Friend Who Won't Betray
I Pull You From Your Tower
I Take Away Your Pain
I Show You All The Beauty You Possess
If You'd Only Let Yourself Believe

That We Are Born Innocent
Believe Me Adia
We Are Still Innocent
It's Easy
We All Falter
Does It Matter?

'Cause We Are Born Innocent
Believe Me Adia, We Are Still Innocent
It's Easy, We All Falter, Does It Matter?

Believe Me Adia
We Are Still Innocent

'Cause We Are Born Innocent
Believe Me Adia
We Are Still Innocent
It's Easy
We All Falter
Does It Matter?

Their Relationship Was Rocky For A Period Of Time After Sarah Started Seeing Her Current Husband, Who Her Best Friend Had Dated In The Past.

Adia Is A Female Name Meaning "God's Gift." Sarah Chose It Simply Because She Liked The Sound Of It.
