Struggling to stay in the light of your darting eyes
She walks a fine line
Between a china doll and a scarecrow

Fighting to be your queen, she wants a knight to take her hand
She fights to reach out
Between the hopeless grasps and breathless words, she cries

Nothing should have come in between, she dared to think
They swore that love was all it took, but they were wrong
Do something, fight a battle, do it for me, she dared to scream
But in the end she loses her fearless zeal to a timid soul

She's got an eye for lost causes and unbroken ground
But maybe she's naive
Because she's the lost cause today

This china doll, she's broken in and she never should have been
This china doll, she never knew what she did
This china doll, she knows that someday she'll be whole again
