Broken Doll

You called for me so here I am

Not a boy and not a man

Man enough to know the odds are long

They dress you up and keep you clean

Like courtiers around a queen

Show you good from bad, right from wrong

All the tears in the world

All the tears in the world

Won't mend a broken doll

The little things in life escape her

Dolls are made of rags and paper

China cracks and chips so easily

Doesn't have the will, the strength

To hold the world out at arm's length

Skin's too thin, eyes too wide to see

All the tears in the world

All the tears in the world

Won't mend a broken doll

Wish I could give love to you

And life to you and hope to you

As you look through me to something else

In your face I think I see

Twisted-up infinity

Angel soul imprisoned in a shell

All the tears in the world

All the tears in the world

Won't mend a broken doll
