["Adia, I thought that we could make it","Believe me Adia, we are still innocent","It's easy, we all falter","I pull you from your tower","","Don't you know I tried so hard","","'Cause we are born innocent","There's no one here to blame","Believe me Adia, we are still innocent","To see where we went wrong","If you'd only let yourself believe","Trying to find a way to carry on","","","That we are born innocent","I search myself and everyone","And there ain't no one to buy our innocence","Adia, I'm empty since you left me","","'Cause we are born innocent","Does it matter?","And show you all the beauty you possess","To love you in my way, it's easy let it go","A friend who won't betray","Does it matter?","Does it matter?","Does it matter?","","","I take away your pain","It's easy, we all falter","But I know I can't change the way you feel","It's easy, we all falter","It's easy, we all falter","Believe me Adia, we are still innocent","Adia, I do believe I failed you","I leave you with your misery","Believe me Adia, we are still innocent","Adia, I know I let you down","'Cause we are born innocent","'Cause there's no one left to finger","Believe me Adia, we are still innocent","","There's no one left to talk to, honey"]

"Adia" is a song by Sarah McLachlan that originally appeared on her 1997 album Surfacing. It was co-written by McLachlan and her longtime producer, Pierre Marchand. The song allegedly reflected the apology to her best friend for becoming involved with, and later marrying, her ex-boyfriend[1]. "Adia" was the third of four songs from Surfacing to be released as a single. It was her most successful US single, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The single, released July 7, 1998, contains four tracks: the radio mix of "Adia", the Surfacing mix of "Angel", the original studio version of "I Will Remember You" (as opposed to the live version included on the Mirrorball album, also released as a single), and a live version of "Building a Mystery".[1] McLachlan was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1999 for "Adia", losing to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On".[2]
A live version of "Adia" appears on the Mirrorball album. "Adia" has been covered by Avril Lavigne on the Control Room Live EP. She said she used to cover it when she was 15.
