Lyrics by Addie Rose
Love Like You
V1:
I must admit
They are hard to ignore
Never seen that kind
Of love before
I can see it in every
Curve of her smile
The way his hand lingers
Oh just for a while
Still I can't help but think
How that should have been me
Chorus:
But I was just the in-betweener
The stepping stone for what was meant to be
A way for him to get on his feet
How was I supposed to know
Yeah how was I supposed to know
When he was everything to me
What do I have to do
To love someone
And have them love me too
V2:
I tell myself that
I'm all that I need
But after him
It's too hard to believe
How could I lose something
That I never had
And if it's not love
Why's it hurt so bad
I can't let him go
Thought he was my own
*repeat chorus*
What do I have to do
To find, to find
A love like you
I don't want to be the in-betweener
The stepping stone for what was meant to be
A way for him to get on his feet
I want him to look at me
I need him to look at me
And say she's my everything
What do I have to do
To love someone
And have them love me too
I must admit
They are hard to ignore
Never seen that kind
Of love before
I can see it in every
Curve of her smile
The way his hand lingers
Oh just for a while
Still I can't help but think
How that should have been me
Chorus:
But I was just the in-betweener
The stepping stone for what was meant to be
A way for him to get on his feet
How was I supposed to know
Yeah how was I supposed to know
When he was everything to me
What do I have to do
To love someone
And have them love me too
V2:
I tell myself that
I'm all that I need
But after him
It's too hard to believe
How could I lose something
That I never had
And if it's not love
Why's it hurt so bad
I can't let him go
Thought he was my own
*repeat chorus*
What do I have to do
To find, to find
A love like you
I don't want to be the in-betweener
The stepping stone for what was meant to be
A way for him to get on his feet
I want him to look at me
I need him to look at me
And say she's my everything
What do I have to do
To love someone
And have them love me too
Porcelain Doll
V1:
Little porcelain doll
Crumbling under the pressure
That raspberry smile's
The last thing to crack
With no eyes to see
And no ears to listen
Leaving trails of pieces
Just to find your way back
You're looking like an empty shell
No glue will ever make you well
Face it
Even time can't heal
That poor little porcelain heart
It was broken from the start
Chorus:
Oh wake up, wake up
You could pick up
All of the pieces
And you'd still be bleeding
Enough is enough
It's not giving up
It's turning the page
From a role that's been played out
You're burning
A hole in the ground
Where you're dancing
Around and around
Stop love
It's over now
That poor little porcelain heart
It was broken from the start
V2:
Little porcelain doll
Just pretending you're plastic
Convincing yourself
You can weather the storm
But when all the paint
Chips off and you're left with
Reality you'll blame your makers for
Building such a fragile life
When you could have stayed inside
Don't hang your dreams
On lies
That poor little porcelain heart
It was broken from the start
*repeat chorus*
V3:
Little porcelain doll
Crumbling under the pressure
That raspberry smile's
The last thing to crack
With no eyes to see
And no ears to listen
You know that you'll never
Find your way back
You're nothing but an empty shell
No glue will ever make you well
Face it
Nothing's gonna heal
That poor little porcelain heart
You were broken from the start
Little porcelain doll
Crumbling under the pressure
That raspberry smile's
The last thing to crack
With no eyes to see
And no ears to listen
Leaving trails of pieces
Just to find your way back
You're looking like an empty shell
No glue will ever make you well
Face it
Even time can't heal
That poor little porcelain heart
It was broken from the start
Chorus:
Oh wake up, wake up
You could pick up
All of the pieces
And you'd still be bleeding
Enough is enough
It's not giving up
It's turning the page
From a role that's been played out
You're burning
A hole in the ground
Where you're dancing
Around and around
Stop love
It's over now
That poor little porcelain heart
It was broken from the start
V2:
Little porcelain doll
Just pretending you're plastic
Convincing yourself
You can weather the storm
But when all the paint
Chips off and you're left with

Don't hang your dreams

No glue will ever make you well

Nothing's gonna heal
That poor little porcelain heart
You were broken from the start
I Was Here
V1:
Clawed my way
From the bottom of the barrel
Escaped those chains
That tied me to the stakes
They had on my life
Should see the look
In their eyes
Greedy hands
Always trying to pull me under
But jokes on them
I've been breathing Underwater just fine
All I know is survive
Silver spoon mouths
Laugh at how I'm not enough
Well they can take my change
But they can never shut me up
I earned my place
And I will not apologize
Sit back, relax
And enjoy the ride
Chorus:
I'm carving my name in stone now
Cashin' in those blood sweat and tears
They might never know my face
But they will know
That I was here
I'm jumpin' the rails
Can't slow down
Kickin' my life into gear
They might never like my ways
But they will know
That I was here
V2:
Walked through fire
Set to keep me in position
Emerged unscathed
By befriending all the demons Inside
Now we're ready to rise
And I've set my sights
On the highest peak
Better step aside
Nothing will ever stop me this time
No not this time
All I knew was how to survive
Now it looks like I,
I am finally alive
Arrogant eyes
Always trying to size me up
Well they can judge my life
While I'm sitting at the top
I earned my place
And I will not apologize
I'm here to stay and I won't justify
Chorus:
Carving my name in stone now
Cashin' in those blood sweat and tears
They might never know my face
But they will know
That I was here
I'm jumpin' the rails
Can't slow down
Kickin' my life into gear
They might never like my ways
But they will know
That I was here
Clawed my way
From the bottom of the barrel
Escaped those chains
That tied me to the stakes
They had on my life
Should see the look
In their eyes
Greedy hands
Always trying to pull me under
But jokes on them
I've been breathing Underwater just fine
All I know is survive
Silver spoon mouths
Laugh at how I'm not enough
Well they can take my change
But they can never shut me up
I earned my place
And I will not apologize
Sit back, relax
And enjoy the ride
Chorus:
I'm carving my name in stone now
Cashin' in those blood sweat and tears
They might never know my face
But they will know
That I was here
I'm jumpin' the rails
Can't slow down
Kickin' my life into gear
They might never like my ways
But they will know
That I was here

By befriending all the demons Inside
Now we're ready to rise

No not this time

They might never like my ways
But they will know
That I was here
