(Verse 1)
Pretty little doll in a velvet room
Painted smile underneath the perfume
Everybody loves the way I shine
Nobody asks what’s behind my eyes
Tiptoe heart in a glass display
Break me once and I still act “okay”
Learned real young how to play pretend
Cracks get hidden when the lights bend
(Pre-Chorus)
So careful when you hold me close
I look perfect most the time
But pressure leaves a mark you know
And yours never leaves mine
(Chorus)
I’m porcelain
White lace skin with a fractured edge
Touch too hard and I might forget
How to hold myself together again
Porcelain
Built so pretty just to break apart
You kissed the surface, missed the heart
Now I’m sweeping up who I’ve been
Porcelain
(Verse 2)
Lipstick stains on a teacup rim
Your goodbye still tastes like him
Mirror says that I’m heaven-sent
But heaven never felt this bent
Dancing slow in the dollhouse glow
Every room got a ghost you know
I hear your voice in the chandeliers
Like smoke still hanging in the air
(Pre-Chorus)
You loved the girl I learned to be
Not the mess beneath the glaze
And every time you pulled away
Another piece just chips and fades
(Chorus)
I’m porcelain
White lace skin with a fractured edge
Touch too hard and I might forget
How to hold myself together again
Porcelain
Built so pretty just to break apart
You kissed the surface, missed the heart
Now I’m sweeping up who I’ve been
Porcelain
(Bridge)
If I shatter in your hands tonight
Would you stay or leave me there?
Would you love me with the cracks exposed
Without the ribbons in my hair?
Cause I’m tired of being delicate
Tired of walking scared
Maybe broken things are still worthy
Maybe soft don’t mean impaired
(Final Chorus)
I’m porcelain
But there’s diamonds in the damage now
I survived every breaking down
And I’m learning how to breathe again
Porcelain
Not a doll for your shelf anymore
I’m worth more than what I’m worn for
Even cracked I still let light in
Porcelain
(Outro)
Pretty little doll in a velvet room
Finally learning I don’t need you
