Opheliac lyrics

I'm your Opheliac

I've been so disillusioned

I know you'd take me back

But still I feign confusion

I couldn't be your friend

My world was too unstable

You might have seen the end

But you were never able

To keep me breathing

As the water rises up again

Before I slip away

You know the games I play

And the words I say

When I want my own way

You know the lies I tell

When you've gone through hell

And I say I can't stay

You know how hard it can be

To keep believing in me

When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when

There's nothing more you can do

I'm gonna blame it on you

It's not the way I want to be

I only hope that in the end you will see

It's the Opheliac in me

I'm your Opheliac

My stockings prove my virtues

I'm open to attack

But I don't want to hurt you

Whether I swim or sink

That's no concern of yours now

How could you possibly think

You had the power to know how

To keep me breathing

As the water rises up again

Before I slip away

You know the games I play

And the words I say

When I want my own way

You know the lies I tell

When you've gone through hell

And I say I can't stay

You know how hard it can be

To keep believing in me

When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when

There's nothing more you can do

I'm gonna blame it on you

It's not the way I want to be

I only hope that in the end you will see

It's the Opheliac in me

Studies show:

Intelligent girls are more depressed

Because they know

What the world is really like

Don't think for a beat it makes it better

When you sit her down and tell her

Everything gonna be all right

She knows in society she either is

A devil or an angel with no in between

She speaks in the third person

So she can forget that she's me

Doubt thou the stars are fire

Doubt thou the sun doth move

Doubt truth to be a liar

But never doubt

Doubt thou the stars are fire

Doubt thou the sun doth move

Doubt truth to be a liar

But never doubt

Doubt thou the stars are fire

Doubt thou the sun doth move

Doubt truth to be a liar

But never doubt I love

You know the games I play

And the words I say

When I want my own way

You know the lies I tell

When you've gone through hell

And I say I can't stay

You know how hard it can be

To keep believing in me

When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when

There's nothing more you can do

I'm gonna blame it on you

It's not the way I want to be

I only hope that in the end you will

But never doubt

You know the games I play

And the words I say

When I want my own way

You know the lies I tell

When you've gone through hell

And I say I can't stay

You know how hard it can be

To keep believing in me

When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when

There's nothing more you can do

I'm gonna blame it on you

It's not the way I want to be

I only hope that in the end you will see..
