Precious Illusions Lyric by Alanis Morissette

Youll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did..
Ill be happy right? when your healing powers kick in

Youll complete me right? then my life can finally begin
Ill be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am?

But this wont work now the way it once did
And I wont keep it up even though I would love to
Once I know who Im not then Ill know who I am
But I know I wont 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 wont work as well as the way it once did
Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
And though I know who Im not I still dont know who I am
But I know I wont 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

Ive spent so long firmly looking outside me
Ive spent so much time living in survival mode
