Alanis Morissette - Precious Illusions lyrics

You'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did..<br>I'll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in<br><br>You'll complete me right? then my life can finally begin<br>I'll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am? <br><br>But this won't work now the way it once did<br>And I won't keep it up even though I would love to<br>Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am<br>But I know I won't keep on playing the victim<br><br>These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless<br>And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends<br><br>This ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor<br>This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water<br><br>But this won't work as well as the way it once did<br>Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss<br>And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am<br>But I know I won't keep on playing the victim<br><br>These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid<br>And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend<br><br>I've spent so long firmly looking outside me<br>I've spent so much time living in survival mode
