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 every one  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 it 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 virtue  I'm open to attack  But I don't want to hurt you  Whether I swim or sink  That's no consern 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 every one  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 it 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   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 every one  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 it to be  I only hope that in the end you will see  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 every one  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 it to be  I only hope that in the end you will see    these lyrics are submitted by Mrs. E.A.
