Precious Illusions Lyrics by Alanis Morissette

Precious Illusions Lyrics

    You'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did..
    I'll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in

    You'll complete me right? then my life can finally begin
    I'll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem i am?

    But this won't work now the way it once did
    And i won't keep it up even though i would love to
    Once i know who i'm not then i'll know who i am
    But i know i won't 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 won't work as well as the way it once did
    Cuz i want to decide between survival and bliss
    And though i know who i'm not i still don't know who i am
    But i know i won't 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

    I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
    I've spent so much time living in survival mode
