White China Doll Lyrics

I bear these tracks from our romance.
A small keepsake of your performance.
Anticipation grows as liberation flows from your fear.
Respiration slows as desperation knows you are near.
Sit tight don’t worry now.
Sit tight and I’ll make you proud.
My little china white where are you tonight comfort me just pretend.
My little china white don’t make me fight for your love again.
My little china white where are you tonight comfort me just pretend.
My little china white don’t make me fight for your love again.
Clear liquid pours from the eyes of this moth to butterflies.
So its wings have been grafted and its colours line my casket.
I’m ready for this place; I’m ready for your grace.
I’m ready for this place; I’m ready for your grace.
My little china white where are you tonight comfort me just pretend.
My little china white don’t make me fight for your love again.
My little china white where are you tonight comfort me just pretend.
My little china white don’t make me fight for your love again.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I don't know what this song is about but I think this part has something to do with it

'Clear liquid pours from the eyes of this moth turnes to butterflies. So its wings have been grafted and its colours line my casket.'

something about looking/being better when crying and then uses the butterfly/takes advantage of it?? I dunno lol =S

Yeah this song is hard... its like sort of like a guy having this extreme lust for this girl who he sort of had before, but i think she got over him and he still wants her.

for some reason this part... I bear these tracks from our romance. A small keepsake of your performance. makes me think that they ended badly last time, like she clawed his down his cheast and left some marks or something, sounds retated i no

i think he just wants her, badly and she doesnt want him but he wants her to just pretend, it sort of gives of the feeling that he is threatening her too..
