Lyric Broken Barbie Doll

Back when she was a girl there was a plan to see her through her life: get married, settled down, and have some kids and be a good housewife; but she would go to bed at night with day-glo stars and fairy lights stuck on the ceiling of her room as she dreamt of another life.

Now it s too late to go back home, it s saccharine and silicone, for a broken Barbie doll. Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she d rather not recall, for a broken Barbie doll.

And though the hands that played with her were cold she let them drag her down, and as her cardboard world begins to fall, she s lying on the ground.

[CHORUS]

Her mother writes her every week, she says she s worried for health. Her dad says she s finding her feet, but now she s lying on the shelf. Like faulty goods that are returned, her pretty fingers are all burnt.

[CHORUS]

Broken Barbie doll, for a broken Barbie doll.
Broken Barbie doll, for a broken Barbie doll.
Broken Barbie doll...
