Ragdoll

I did everything right
How reassuring was I?
When you asked me if I meant it
I told you that I dreamt it
Into my life
But all of my light
Got swept under the mattress
I made friends up in the attic

In the back of the cupboard
That you barely remember
Next to your favorite sweater
But you found something better

So leave it to me
To smile as I fall
Cause nobody’s better at the circus
Just watch me
I will run in circles
Trying to be
Someone you love
Honey I will change my colors to nothing
As long as I can be one of your rag dolls
One of your rag dolls

Pick me off of the shelf
Dust me off with your mouth
Let me play with all the jewels
And crown myself the fool for falling back in
Believing again
In your empty words of romance
I found myself a slow dance

In the back of the cupboard
That you barely remember
Next to your favorite sweater
But you found something better

So leave it to me
To smile as I fall
Cause nobody’s better at the circus
Just watch me
I will run in circles
Trying to be
Someone you love
Honey I will change my colors to nothing
As long as I can be one of your rag dolls
One of your rag dolls

Medicines never enough
To cure when you’ve fallen in love
Just look at what I’ve become
A floating piece of paper
Just begging for a stapler

So leave it to me
To smile as I fall
Cause nobody’s better at the circus
Just watch me
I will run in circles
Trying to be
Someone you love
Honey I will change my colors to nothing
As long as I can be one of your rag dolls
