Erin Hope - Porcelain Eyes Lyrics

I watched her dreaming by the window pane
She whispered softly "I'm so alone"
I'd give her anything to ease the ache
But it cost more than I could've known

And now my voice disappears
A hollow echo in these porcelain ears

I'm trapped in silence inside these seams
Held by the stitches of her childhood dreams
Her laughter's all that keeps me warm tonight
But it's cold behind these porcelain eyes

She holds me tighter as the shadows grow
Her tiny fingers hold me tight
She'll never know the sacrifice I made
Just to be the friend she wished that night

And now my hands can't feel
I'm always there but she needs something real

I'm trapped in silence inside these seams
Held by the weight of all my shattered dreams
Her world is bright but I'm fading from sight
Locked behind these porcelain eyes

Tick-tock the time slips away
She doesn't see that I'm losing my face
I'm just a doll in the corner of her mind
Waiting for the day she leaves me behind

I'm trapped in silence inside these seams
Buried in threads of all her innocent schemes
She smiles at me but I can't cry
Forever stuck behind these porcelain eyes

I was her father once upon a time
Now just a doll no longer mine
... Behind these porcelain eyes
