Just a Porcelain Doll

Time moves by but I'm standing still
Caught in the emotion 
My heart and my mind are waging war
Being stuck at the bottom of the ocean
Do I try to survive or do I let myself die

My heart belongs to you
But you're ripping it apart
With every word you say of her
With every breath you take it's like knowing I'm just a mistake
I'm holding on the ship that sunk
Cause I don't want to love if you don't love me

I gave every inch of me to you
My mind tells me I should move on
I can't find the power to
My heart still has your name carved into it
It won't ever be healed by a first aid kit

I've become a porcelein doll
My perfectly happy appearance is fake 
There's nothing left on the inside
Hit me too hard and I'll break
Just the plaything of the people
Just like a tool, played like a fool

My heart belongs to you
But you're ripping it apart
With every word you say of her
With every breath you take it's like knowing I'm just a mistake
I'm holding on the ship that sunk
Cause I don't want to love if you don't love me

Just a porcelain doll
Only used for a short amount of time
You'll get bored of me and get a Barbie
I wish you could just be mine
Guess I agree with the slogan of Ed Hardy
Let me go and I'll fall
Used like a tool, played like a fool
Love kills slowly

My heart belongs to you
But you're ripping it apart
With every word you say of her
With every breath you take it's like knowing I'm just a mistake
I'm holding on the ship that sunk
Cause I don't want to love if you don't love me

Time moves by but I'm standing still
Caught in the emotion 
My heart and my mind are waging war
Being stuck at the bottom of the ocean
Do I try to survive or do I let myself die
