lyrics

The Story of a rag doll

she can wear any kind of dress
she can have any name you want
and her smile
hides her fear where you can't see

all that she lost
cannot be bought
she's like a doll
without a heart

she has no dreams
she feels no shame
and walks the streets
in her small scarlet shoes

you can tell her your secret wish
she can fake any kind of love
all her life
breaks apart when you can't see

all that she sold
cannot be found
she's like a doll
without a heart

she has no dreams
she feels no shame
and walks the streets
in her small scarlet shoes

she can hide behind a wig
and behind a lie
when she's pulled and torn apart
she won't sit and cry
she can mend a hole
lipstick can hide a scar
her silence is gold
maybe next time she'll try
to hide

and run away
just run home
just run away
