Silverstein - 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 everytime 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
All 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 when I was
Lost and depressed form the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

I will save myself
