Porcelain Doll Lyrics

Why do they leave me all by myself
Why do they use me and bring me down
Why do they hurt me, why do they leave me
Why doesn’t anybody stick around

Why doesn’t anyone stay here, why do they leave me
Don’t they realize I’m a porcelain doll
Small, unsure, beautiful
Breakable

If I sit here, waiting to be wanted
Something good will pass me by
Many people look through the windows
But seldom do they ever look in my eyes

Why doesn’t anyone stay here, why do they leave me
Don’t they realize I’m a porcelain doll
Fragile, helpless, unwanted
Breakable

They can’t tell that I am sweet
They can’t tell I’m like a porcelain doll
Beautiful and demure, but they will lie to me

Why am I not numb to this
Why can’t I let it all outside my mind
Don’t let me sit here collecting dust
But please be careful, please be kind

Why doesn’t anyone stay here, why do they leave me
Don’t they realize I’m a porcelain doll
Lost, alone, unsure
Kind, demure, small, fragile, helpless
Breakable
Breakable

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 thought it was about everyone who has hurt her in her life?

I dunno, I could be wrong.
