Paper dolls dazzling as the sun
Walking down the aisle one by one
The span of 3 lifetimes a kiss and a song
Quick and swift as the day is long
Youth did shadow the mind and the heart
One foot out the door right from the start
Never really there just a shadow in the mist
A silent movie a snare and a fist
She needed a hero and a moment and someone to love
Sadly there was not one -not one to speak of
So in the end it's all he knows it's all he tries
As she quietly watches his wandering eyes
Years of denial and a life built on lies
The heart hardens as she cries and cries
A paper doll who crumbled shriveled and fell
The hands that held her the oceans did swell
Moving to yet another doll - as if he could
Love this one better - love this one good
