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 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
