"Just A Toy" as written by and Steven/robertson Page....
Look at my mouth, a thin painted line
Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine
Forever, ever mine
Form of a tree, shape of a child
I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile
Forever, ever mine
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
First there was me, nothing but time
'Til he came along, you told me you'd always be mine
Forever, ever mine
Look at his face, somewhat like mine
But look at his nose, you can always be sure that
he's lying
Forever, ever mine
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
Who needs you
A boy-to-be who
Needs to be
Better than him, worthy of you
Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do
Forever, ever mine
I call him liar, you call him son
If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run
Forever, and forever
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine
Forever, ever mine
Form of a tree, shape of a child
I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile
Forever, ever mine
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
First there was me, nothing but time
'Til he came along, you told me you'd always be mine
Forever, ever mine
Look at his face, somewhat like mine
But look at his nose, you can always be sure that
he's lying
Forever, ever mine
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
Who needs you
A boy-to-be who
Needs to be
Better than him, worthy of you
Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do
Forever, ever mine
I call him liar, you call him son
If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run
Forever, and forever
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy

Gepetto was making a doll, pouring all of his love, and all of his effort into it, telling it "One day youll be a real boy!" and things like that. Then one day, he forgot about it. The doll was left on a shelf, collecting dust, completely forgotten by Gepetto. Then Gepetto started working on a new doll (Pinocchio), and the old forgotten doll is forced to sit on the shelf and watch Gepetto tell Pinocchio everything he told the old doll. Becuase the old doll is not a real boy, it can't move, and is forced to watch Gepetto work, all day, and remember what it was like before. This song is just about the inner thoughts of this old, forgotten doll.
This is probably my favourite bnl song ever, its just so good.
