"Broken Doll" lyrics

"Broken Doll"

I'm a broken doll and you're the puppeteer
Take control for me and wipe away my fears

I don't claim to be perfect
I know I'm damaged goods
But I wanna be let out of darkness
Just like every lady would
Lick my wounds and watch them seal
With your healing heart
Embrace my sadness, look after me
'Cause there's no-one else I'd ask

I'm a broken doll and you're the puppeteer
Take control for me and wipe away my fears
Piece me all together
Though broken, I am sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat

I'm scared of shadows in the night
When you're not there by my side
Sick of nightmares in my sleep
When there's no place I can hide
See the beauty in the blood
That drips down from my eyes
Hold the parts that were ripped out
That had took me by surprise

I'm a broken doll and you're the puppeteer
Take control for me and wipe away my fears
Piece me all together
Though broken, I am sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat

Boom, boom, there it goes
Boom, boom to the sound of the grand piano
I'm dancing in your light and I like it here
I'm a broken doll and you're the puppeteer
Take control for me and wipe away my fears

I'm a broken doll and you're the puppeteer
Take control for me and wipe away my fears
Piece me all together
Though broken, I am sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat

I'm a broken doll and you're the puppeteer
Take control for me and wipe away my fears
Piece me all together
Though broken, I am sweet
You thought my heart was made of wood
But I can hear it beat
