i'll be your little broken doll
to play with when you're bored
i'll do it even if that means
when you're not i'll be ignored
all i ask
is for you to treat me like a real girl
but instead it's like i'm fake
you have no regard for my heart
that's bound to break
i get it
if you wanna play
with your other toys
or your little army men
but you told me
if i was your barbie
you would be my ken
now i'm just a rag doll
stuck knowing you don't love me at all
you've dropped me on the ground
and drug me through the dirt
so now i'm here pretending
that it didn't hurt
i guess you don't see it
but i can be plastic too
i can do all of the things
that your other toys do
don't worry
i'll always be here waiting
for when you want to play
but when you don't
i'll sit there hoping
you don't through me away
i always try to run away
but i love the games you play
i have to admit
when you put me down my spirits fall
but i guess i'll always be
your little broken doll
