Precious Illusions
Have fun with this song! :)
VERSE 1:
you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did
I'll be happy right? when your healing pow-ers kick in
you'll complete me right? then my life can fi-nal-ly__ begin.__
I'll be worthy right? only when you re-al-ize the gem I am.
PRE-CHORUS:
but this won't work_ now the way__ it once did.__
and I won't keep it up__ e-ven 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 play-ing___ the victim.
CHORUS:
these precious il-lu-sions in___ my head___
did not let me down___ when I was de-fense-less
and parting with them___ is like
part-ing with in-visible___ best friends___
Verse 2
this ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone though 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
CHORUS
these precious il-lu-sions in___ my head___
did not let me down___ when I was de-fense-less
and parting with them___ is like
part-ing with child-hood___ best friend___
BRIDGE:
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
I've spent so much time living in survival mode
