My Heroine

Silverstein

The drugs begin to peak
A smile of joy arrives in me
But sedation changes to panic and nauseaAnd breath starts to shorten
And heartbeats pound softer

You won′t try to save me
You just want to hurt me
And leave me desperate

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You′re my heroine

You won't leave me alone
Chisel my heart out of stone
I give in everytime

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You′re my heroine

I bet you laugh
At the thought of me thinking for myself (myself)
I bet you believe (bet you believe)
That I′m better off with you than someone else

Your face arrives again
A hope I had become surreal
But under your covers
More torture than pleasure
And just past your lips
There's more anger than laughter

Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on I′ll break you, my habit

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You′re my heroine

But I will save myself!
