You'll rescue me right?
|
In the exact same way they never did..
|
I'll be happy right?
|
When your healing powers kick in
|
|
You'll complete me right?
|
Then my life can finally begin
|
I'll be worthy right?
|
Only when you realize the gem I am?
|
|
But this won't work now the way it once did
|
And I won't keep it up even though I would love to
|
Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
|
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
|
|
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
|
When I was defenseless
|
And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
|
|
This ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
|
This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
|
|
But this won't work as well as the way it once did
|
Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
|
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
|
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
|
|
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid
|
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
|
|
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
|
I've spent so much time living in survival mode
|
|
This won't work now the way it once did
|
Cuz I want to deside between servival and bliss
|
Now I know who I'm not
|
I don't I still don't know who I am
|
But I know I won't keep on playing the victom
|
|
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
|
When I was defenseless
|
And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
|
|
|
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
|
When I was a kid
|
And parting with them is like parting with childhood best friends
