Broken Toys
you say
you want me to
leave him
you say
you don't play
but you want to
play house, with you
in every way
but i belong to him
in every way
and he'll never let me out
to play your game
because he never lets
anyone play with his
broken toy
I'm just a broken toy
that he will never put away
and he'll never give away
he'll never let me leave
and he'll never stay away
broken toys some never
throw away
see i (I) was broken
when he find me
and broken when
he decided to stay
so, you see the pretty
not the real me
but he knows the real me
and plays with only my wounds
for day to day

and plays with only my wounds
for (from) day to day
