Little Empty Doll

I’m on the shelf again
Just waiting for a friend
I have friends you see
Just between you and me

Her footsteps I hear
Why is she so near
Stay still don’t show
She won’t see she won’t know

She picks me up
A snuggle a rub
Then off to the floor
Neglected once more

Another crack
The bruises swell fast
My stitches come loose
What happened to you?

A shadow appears
oh my oh dear
A smash to my face
My heart starts to race

Don’t show her the fear
She’ll only draw near
Tears will do no good
Just lay as you should

She says I can’t love
I hear from above
No use for me now
Lying still on the ground

There’s no hope for me
My soul is empty
She’s broken my face
And sped off in haste

There’s nothing to show
No expressions to glow
She’d hate if I did
There’s no point in it

A painful routine
My heart keeps breaking
But I feel nothing
I feel nothing

No feeling for me
There’s nothing to be
Just casual speak
Then back to your tea

Worry not my friend
All will soon mend
I can’t feel you see
No emotions for me

My head is a shell
There’s joy in this hell
My heart’s gone you see
Just between you and me

I’ll smile for you
Found my mouth in a shoe
Let’s play hide and seek
I’ll hide and be free

It’s fine It’s fine
Everything's always fine
I’m happy I’m great
Though my heart still aches

I’m on the shelf again
I don’t need any friends
Don’t catch me if I fall
I’m just a little empty doll
