China Doll

Wake up and face the world
What use is that to a frightened girl?
If she can't face tomorrow today
Then we can't just explain it away
Give the virus a name
Say she can't change
If she's broken and we
Don't bother to fix her
Did you stop to ask her
If she wants a cure

Well she's not physically damaged
She's mentally scarred
But somehow she's managed
To get pretty far
She's alive at the moment
But tomorrow who knows it?
We're not physically challenged
It's just who we are

Look into her eyes they're a window to her soul
She's sick of being a china doll
See if you ask the question
She can only tell lies
But you can tell what she's feeling
Through sapphire eyes
They're a window to her soul
She's tired of being a china doll

When the air is your limit
And the mountain's your summit
You know your goals
But what about hers?
She might not be able to touch the sky
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't let her try
If you keep telling her she can't
Sooner or later she'll believe that
Understand she's fragile
But don't treat her like glass
If you kept her in bubblewrap
Tell me what's the use in that?

Look into her eyes they're a window to her soul
She's sick of being a china doll
See if you ask the question
She can only tell lies
But you can tell what she's feeling
Through emerald eyes
They're a window to her soul
She's tired of being a china doll

Such a pretty girl
Lost in the world
I guess she doesn't see
How beautiful she can be
Now tell me who wants the pieces
Of the smile
Of a shattered china doll's

Look into her eyes they're a window to her soul
She's sick of being a china doll
See if you ask the question
She can only tell lies
But you can tell what she's feeling
Through cinnamon eyes
They're a window to her soul
She's tired of being a china doll

Look into your eyes they're a window to your soul
Are you sick of being a china doll?
See if you ask the question
But only tell yourself lies
See what you're feeling
Through china eyes
They're a window to your soul
Aren't you sick of being a china doll?

Not broken yet.
