Only when you realize the gem I am
I'll be happy, right?
And parting with them is like parting with
These precious illusions in my head
These precious illusions in my head
I've spent so long firmly
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
And I won't keep it up even though I would love to
You'll complete me, right?
And parting with them is like parting with
Songwriter: Alanis Morissette
But this won't work as well as the way it once did
I've spent so much time
Did not let me down when I was a kid
'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
Childhood best friend
You'll rescue me, right?
'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss
Did not let me down when I was defenseless
This pill will help me yet
Invisible best friends

These precious illusions in my head
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
Childhood best friend
But this won't work as well as the way it once did
Did not let me down when I was a kid
When your healing powers kick in
Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
Living in survival mode
In the exact same way they never did
As will these boys gone through like water
And parting with them is like parting with a
Then my life can finally begin
These precious illusions in my head
And parting with them is like parting with a
I'll be worthy, right?
Invisible best friends
But this won't work now the way it once did
As will you, knight in shining armor
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
This ring will help me yet
Looking outside me
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
Did not let me down when I was defenseless
