about

A song about Julia Wicker's journey in The Magician King by Lev Grossman, from her perspective.

lyrics

Yeah, I finally figured out
How you erased and tossed me out
And you couldn’t make me forget
You haven’t seen the last of me yet

I’m done waiting
I am shaking
Won’t go back to who I was
I’m heading out
Can’t wear me down
You will regret you gave me up

Leave and desert me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t hurt me
Your words go right through me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t hurt me
I’m burning, burning I’m burning
But I’m learning, learning, I’m learning
Don’t try to find me
You can’t have me
You can’t hurt me anymore

Cracked their puzzles easily
Then magic came looking for me
Flashing lights and tattooed stars
And goddesses erasing scars

Now I’ve made it
The freight train is
Coming, this was a mistake
Wanted to belong
Not just to be strong
And then it you took it all away

Leave and desert me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t hurt me
Your words go right through me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t hurt me
I’m burning, burning I’m burning
But I’m learning, learning, I’m learning
Don’t try to save me
You can’t help me
You can’t hurt me anymore

When we were underground
I finally let go
I’ve been stuck in between
For so damn long
The fear is gone
The anger’s gone
The pain is finally gone

Leave and desert me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t hurt me
Your words go right through me
You can’t hurt me
You can’t hurt me
I’m glowing, glowing, I’m glowing
Now I’m growing, growing, I’m growing
You know where to find me
If you need me
You can’t hurt me anymore
