Porcelain by Elijah Mann Lyrics

You were shining in the sunlight
You were shining like a doe-eyed little girl
With a smile all painted pleasant
And a ribbon wrapped around your little curls
It's a wonder why I never saw a sliver of your crumbling world

And I know it's been a long time
Of growing used to smiling out of fear
You're breaking, but you never say you're broken
'Cuz you're porcelain, yeah you're porcelain, my dear

You've been hiding under tables tryin' to figure out what home's supposed to be
You got addicted to the fall, you called it "clarity" that I shouldn't bother mending
And I'm just a secondhand account of all your scars that won't stop pointing at me

And I know it's been a long time
And I've been trying to write this song for years
You're breaking, but you never say you're broken
'Cuz you're porcelain, yeah you're porcelain, my dear

You're crying in the sunlight, and I dont know how to help you anymore
Oh my god, I should've held you closer in this porcelain world
And i know its been a long time
And I know we've got a ways to go
But let's crawl under the table to see how much we've grown
Feel its rough, un-sanded underbelly;
Call this home
Know that you and I have never been alone
'Cuz we're porcelain, yeah we're porcelain

Oh I know it's bee na long time
And we'll always have these battered hearts
We're breaking but at least we're still alive
'Cuz we're porcelain, Yeah we're porcelain
We're porcelain, ah we're all porcelain
And when we're porcelain
It's alright to fall apart
