(I'm Your) Heroine Lyrics

I traded in my mind for my body and soul

Ramifications of my actions are I’ll never grow old

Hate to stand in front of you so exposed and bold

Between the liquor and the glitter that we split on the floor

Ingesting chemical swirls so we could be something more

Remember watching you while you laid down on my floor

Baby I’m not blaming you

It’s burning your insides

Inhaling all their exhausting truths exhaling all their lies

I packed up all my bags and threw them on a train

The man who’s checking all the stamps thinks that I’ve gone insane

And everything around me’s crowded by your cigarette

And now you’re looking like a beatnik with your sullen smile

And you keep running ‘round the train looking for a vile

To fill your veins and make your mind run wild

Maybe it’s the vicious world

That runs your bottle dry

But I think I’m in love with you

I’d hate to see you die

You’re taking 27 hours just to do your hair

Making a statement in society that’s going nowhere

Give them 10 more years they’ll all look just like you

And still I stare at my reflection when I’m feeling sad

Seeing the frown lines in the mirror makes me feel well glad

Cause everything else I just fuck up by mistake

So let the crowds engulf themselves

Cover them with lies

Cause I don’t think they will give you up, until their needles dry.

La da da da dum

I hope that you don’t die

Promise me, promise that you’ll try

Because I don’t want to watch you go, oh no

I don’t want to watch you go

Oh no, I don’t want to watch you
