I Know Porcelain is Opaque

lyrics

I'm just here
Keeping myself company
Not on holiday
Or anywhere
Away from me

Keep this clear
It's not easy to be
Rattling round this old home of mine
With nobody

Once in a while
I'll tell a lie
Say I'm fine
Feign a smile
Maybe I should tell the truth and
Let go for a while
It's not healthy for me to be porcelain
They will see right through me
As I see right through them

Hush now girl
I feel she's in there somehow
Just find her out now
Take her hand
And show her how to smile
Ask her then
What her heart desires
Make sure you get it for her, too
She's got your number now

Once in a while
She'll tell a lie
Say she's fine
Feign a smile
Maybe she should tell the truth and
Let go for a while
It's not healthy for her to to be struggling
One as stunning as her
Do not stop her from singing

Right now girl
Soon you'll be ready to choose
What you like
And what you don't like
What you're willing to lose
If you're happy, good
If you're sad feel free to cry
The question is not
How we die
But how we live in this life
