My Heroine

  • The drugs begin to peak
    A smile of joy arrives in me
    But sedation changes to panic and nausea
    And 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 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 every time

    You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had
    I can 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, that I'm better off with you than someone else

    Your face arrives again, a hope I had becomes 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 forget, the times that I was
    Lost and depressed from the awful truth
    How do you do it?
    You're my heroine!

    I will save myself! Writer/s: Shane Told
