China Doll

You've got the blood that boils

Your heart is black as coal

But despite the walls you build

I've seen what's in your soul

It's the color of a crystal

Bright as the light of day

All you need is someone to fight

To claw the death away.

Fragile little china doll

Be careful or you'll break

I don't want to see you chip

The smile on your face

That smile means the world to me

It gets me through the day

It sparks the fire that's in your eyes

And keeps the wolves at bay.

Please don't forget I love you

Those days you want to cry

Just look up and count the stars

That shine for you and I

Go now and break another heart

Cut it clean to tatters

But I'll still watch out for you because

You're the one that matters.

When you're talking to the darkness

And you think you hear it speak

If you catch a muffled heartbeat

Don't be frightened it's just me

Baby I'm your angel

With burning wings aflame

Baby I'm your shadow

Whispering your name.
