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,
'Cause 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.
But this won't work as well as the way it once did,
'Cause 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 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 a childhood best friend.
