Lyrics
0:01You'll rescue me right
0:04In the exact same way they never did
0:10I'll be happy right
0:14When your healing powers kick in
0:21You'll complete me right
0:24Then my life can finally begin
0:30I'll be worthy right
0:35Only when you realize the gem I am
0:41But this won't work now the way it once did
0:45And I won't keep it up even though I would love to
0:50Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
0:55But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
1:00These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
1:06When I was defenseless
1:10And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
1:21This ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
1:32This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
1:41But this won't work as well as the way it once did
1:47Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
1:50And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
1:57But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
2:00These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid
2:10And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
2:19I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
2:32I've spent so much time living in survival mode
2:45This won't work now the way it once did
2:50Cuz I want to deside between servival and bliss
2:55Now I know who I'm not
2:57I don't I still don't know who I am
3:00But I know I won't keep on playing the victom
3:04These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
3:11When I was defenseless
3:14And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
3:21These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
3:31When I was a kid
3:34And parting with them is like parting with childhood best friends
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
