Broken Doll

Paloma Faith · Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? [2009]

I am a broken doll and you are the puppeteer

Take control for me and wipe away my fears



I don't claim to be perfect

I know I am damaged good

But I wanna be led out of darkness

Just like every lady would



Link my wounds and watch them

Seal with your healing heart

Embrace my sadness, look after me

'Cause there is no one else I 'd ask



I am a broken doll and you are the puppeteer

Take control for me and wipe away my fears

Piece me all together, the broken eye and sweet

You thought my heart was made of wood

But I can hear it beat



I am scared of shadows in the night

When you are not there by my side

Sick of nightmares in my sleep

When there is no place I can hide



See the beauty in the blood

That drips down from my eyes

Hold the parts that were ripped out

That took me by surprise



I am a broken doll and you are the puppeteer

Take control for me and wipe away my fears

Piece me all together the broken eye and sweet

You thought my heart was made of wood

But I can hear it beat



Boom, boom, here it goes, boom, boom

To the sound of the grand piano

I am dancing in your light

And I like it here



I am a broken doll and you are the puppeteer

Take control for me and wipe away my fears

Am broken doll and you are the puppeteer



Take control for me and wipe away my fears

Piece me all together the broken eye and sweet

You thought my heart was made of wood

But I can hear it beat



I'm a broken doll and you are the puppeteer

Take control for me and wipe away my fears

Piece me all together the broken eye and sweet

You thought my heart was made of wood

But I can hear it beat
