Delicate girl

Delicate girl not so delicate anymore Dirty ribbons in her hair and a torn up pinafore Untied shoes and eyes that blankly stare Valued only for her beauty now no one seems to care Born into the shadow of what was before Did every task and every ask But what was it all for? Never measured up always felt out of place But listen my delicate girl Don't show it on your face You selected your tools to carve out her form You taught her how to act and speak and how to perform Yeah she was just a prop in your play of a life But porcelain dolls fade in sunlight Delicate girl oh she bends and she breaks Kept tightly in a box or simply propped up on display Saturated ink carefully spelling out her name The one she never chose but the one that will remain You selected your tools to carve out her form You taught her how to act and speak and how to perform Yeah she was just a prop in your play of a life But porcelain dolls fade Porcelain dolls fade Porcelain dolls fade
