Lyrics

He met this girl from reno

Whose life was a competition
She looked just like a china doll
With porcelain skin she knew he'd let her win
So he fell for her
As if he fell from his mother into the arms of a lover
And he swore not to leave her side
For better or for worse (whichever comes first)
Sadly the latter arose

She met this boy from omaha
Whose life was handed to him..
But still, he wanted everything
His dreams were his ruin
And she couldn't wake him up
But the bough broke and he fell
Like the time he fell from his mother
Into the arms of a doctor
So he cried like that first day of his life
He knew he had broken this beautiful porcelain
And how could their world be the same?
And so it never was the same
She whispers his name
"I'll stay if you want, but I could never be who you
Imagined me to be I'll stay I don't know what else to do..
But I can't change for you I won't change for you"
