My Heroine

My Heroine - Silverstein

The *** 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'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

That I'm better off with you then someone else

Your face arrives again

A hope I had becomes surreal

But under your covers

More torture then pleasure

And just past your lips

There's more anger then 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

I will save myself
