E
You'll rescue me right?
D
In the exact same way they never did
E
I'll be happy right?
D
When your healing powers kick in
E
You'll complete me right?
D
And my life can finally begin
E
I'll be worthy right?
D
Only when you realise the gem I am
Pre-Chorus:
E A D A
But this won't work now the way it once did
E A D A
And I won't keep it up even though I'm allowed to
E A D A
Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am
E A D A
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
Chorus:
D A
These precious illusions in my head
E A
Did not let me down when I was defenseless
D A Bm E
And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
This ring will help me yet as will
you knight in shining armour
This pill will help me yet as will these
boys gone through like water
Pre-Chorus:
And this won't work now 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
Bridge:
A Cadd9 G E
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
A Cadd9 G D A
I've spent so much time living in survival mode
Pre-Chorus
