My Heroine (Acoustic)

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't 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 every time

You taught my heart

A sense I never knew I had

I can't 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

(Bet you believe)

That I'm better off with you than someone else

Your face arrives again

A 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

(Not now, ever)

I know that to go on I'll break you, my habit

(Change)

You taught my heart

A sense I never knew I had

I can't 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
