he met this girl from reno
|
|
whose life was a competition.
|
she looked just like a china doll
|
with porcelain skin she knew he'd let her win.
|
so he fell for her,
|
as if he fell from his mother into the arms of a lover.
|
and he swore not to leave her side,
|
for better or for worse (whichever comes first).
|
sadly the latter arose.
|
|
she met this boy from omaha
|
whose life was handed to him...
|
but still, he wanted everything.
|
his dreams were his ruin,
|
and she couldn't wake him up.
|
but the bough broke and he fell.
|
like the time he fell from his mother
|
into the arms of a doctor.
|
so he cried like that first day of his life.
|
he knew he had broken this beautiful porcelain
|
and how could their world be the same?
|
and so it never was the same.
|
she whispers his name,
|
"i'll stay if you want, but i could never be who you
|
imagined me to be i'll stay i don't know what else to do...
|
but i can't change for you i won't change for you"
