Verse 1
Dolly in the corner with her head stitched on
Mommy says smile even when it feels wrong
Powder on my cheeks, make the pink stay sweet
Tears taste like sugar when they hit my teeth
Tea cups lined up in a perfect row
Tiny little secrets no one gets to know
Stuffed bears watching from the window frame
Everybody here keeps saying my name
Pre-Chorus
Hush little baby, swallow the sound
The prettiest flowers grow under the ground
Spin my ribbon, braid my blues
Pretty pink dress with tea party bruises
Chorus
Cry, cry, baby blue
Lullaby lies are all I knew
Rosy cheeks and black mascara
Broken hearts look sweet in satin
Toy box heart with a winding key
Turn it once and you’ll own me
Sing me soft, make it hurt
Love looks best in lace and dirt
Verse 2
Hopscotch shadows on a checkered floor
I hear tiny footsteps outside the door
Birthday candles melting down like skin
Make a wish, let the nightmare in
Bubblegum kisses, razorblade smiles
Running in circles for miles and miles
Every dollhouse has a room that screams
Mine just hides it in velvet dreams
Pre-Chorus
Hush little baby, don’t ask why
The moon still shines when angels cry
Spin my ribbon, braid my blues
Pretty pink dress with tea party bruises
Chorus
Cry, cry, baby blue
Lullaby lies are all I knew
Rosy cheeks and black mascara
Broken hearts look sweet in satin
Toy box heart with a winding key
Turn it once and you’ll own me
Sing me soft, make it hurt
Love looks best in lace and dirt
Bridge
Rockabye, rockabye, don’t wake up
Fill my porcelain little cup
With honey tears and syrup pain
So I can feel it once again
Final Chorus
Cry, cry, baby blue
Now the nightmare sings it too
Rosy cheeks and cracked mascara
Broken girls glow even brighter
Toy box heart with a winding key
Now it only beats for me
Sing me soft beneath the earth
Love still blooms in lace and dirt.
