The Porcelain Girl

Lyrics to a song I am in the process of finishing.

"

 

Ladies and gentlemen
I just want to take a minute to talk with you
I ask you please gather round the center stage
Listen to this tale of a woeful girl we weave
She was carefully crafted as you shall see.

Oh, sweet dear porcelain girl
has creasing cracks around her cheeks
stained black facing down and always looking at her feet
Shes a special fragile gal, a one of a kind of china doll
with a kiln hardened heart your remarks could never beat
Her matching set is all she ever wants to seek
Her matching set is all she ever wants to seek
But her clingy collector will never ever ever let that be
Please sir, why couldn't you just let her be
She’s so fragmented now
I just don’t understand how
Her destruction was allowed (x2)
If she was mine I would be proud
 Oh, Oh, My sweet porcelain girl
the cruel earth shatters your glassy tears
soon the spotlight will shine on you and really only you my dear
The whole wide world will be  speechless as they stare
Perhaps with time your essence will become crystal clear
In your next line so too will all your hopes and fears
We’ll find the matching set which you desperately seek
I promise we find your matching set, even if things seem bleak
Things will turn out alright but please please just wait and see!
Things will turn out alright but please please just wait and see!

Oh, my sweet porcelain girl
I cant stand to watch fine design break
Dear sweet porcelain girl
You are truly a one of a kind make
Beautiful porcelain girl
The bull ruined you with his violent wake
Beautiful procelain girl
The bull made such a huge mistake
Waaaaahahahahahaha!

She’s so fragmented now
I just don’t understand how
Her destruction was allowed (x2)
If she was mine I would be proud
 

Gather all the pieces, glue her back together again
Gather all the pieces, fix her up anew again
Gather all the pieces, glue her back together again
Gather all the pieces, fix her up anew again

what instruments do you play?

Please enlighten me if I'm wrong because a whole mass of ideas enter the interpretation of this song. The one I'm leaning hardest on is the idea that this girl was perhaps a beautiful fragile soul dating someone who was controlling and clingy. He broke her down to shape her how he willed when all she wanting was to find out who she was, find someone true to her inner being (matching set) Then again I tend to lean on tables and they soemtimes break. Enlightment request please :)

The other idea is just thoughts of society and what we shape people to be...
