You think I am a china doll
With a fragile flawless face.
The doll that must be kept up high
Inside a small glass case.
You think I am so innocent
So breakable and naive
You think this is a compliment
That's what you believe
You think I'm something perfect
Something to collect
Too good for this harsh world
For "my sake" you must protect
You place me on this pedestal
To look at, not to touch
Your angel girl with gentle smile
And cheeks with perfect blush
I'll tell you once it's just not true
These things you think you know
I'm wiser than that girl you see
I'm stronger than I show
One wrong move won't shatter me
I don't need your protection
And though I may be good,
I am far from perfection
Erase that china doll's image
Then look at me and blink
Then listen close, I won't repeat
I'm not the girl you think
