|
he met this girl from reno |
|
whose life was a competition. |
|
she looked just like a china doll |
|
with porcelain skin she knew he'd let her win. |
|
so he fell for her, |
|
as if he fell from his mother into the arms of a lover. |
|
and he swore not to leave her side, |
|
for better or for worse (whichever comes first). |
|
sadly the latter arose. |
|
she met this boy from omaha |
|
whose life was handed to him... |
|
but still, he wanted everything. |
|
his dreams were his ruin, |
|
and she couldn't wake him up. |
|
but the bough broke and he fell. |
|
like the time he fell from his mother |
|
into the arms of a doctor. |
|
so he cried like that first day of his life. |
|
he knew he had broken this beautiful porcelain |
|
and how could their world be the same? |
|
and so it never was the same. |
|
she whispers his name, |
|
"i'll stay if you want, but i could never be who you |
|
imagined me to be i'll stay i don't know what else to do... |
|
but i can't change for you i won't change for you" |
