Dollmaker Lyrics

I'm just a man
I'll tell you who I am
I spin yarn for your hair
Carve loneliness and despair
I only think of you
As I paint your fair skin
My saddened heart pretends
That you're someone for
The dollmaker
For the dollmaker
I whittle away
Thinking only yesterday
Trying to figure out now
Why I didn't finish you
Although I'm alone
Heartbreak I prolong
So I can finish
What I started
For the dollmaker
For the dollmaker
I drive a nail so careful
I thrust
I've created something
Beyond just us
I've heard of superstitions
But I don't care
I paint your stare
I look into your eyes
I imagine that they're yours
I try to make sense
Out of making you
Though I'll never have you
My dream is all I have
You're real to me
You're alive in my heart
I won't give you away
Or pass you to a child
You're far too beautiful to me
Forgive me my dear
But you're all mine
I shut the door
Where no one will find
But the dollmaker

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.
