Lyrics of My Heroine - Silverstein

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
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 cover's more torture than pleasure
And just past your lips, there's mores 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
