Worry Doll by Ettrick Shepherd Lyrics
[Chorus]
I got a worry doll to handle my shit
The light in all the darkness and the candle is lit
You stick around when I’m dirty and I’m wrecked
So you sure as hell deserve me at my best
[Verse 1]
Lately I’ve been crazy and not likin’ myself
I’ve been a ball of emotion, it’s like I’m fightin’ myself
Cos my love life and life was crushed right in front of my eyes
By my crush who I loved more than life in itself
And it cut deep, not a doubt but this song’s not
About the depression it’s about the friend who got me out
I was like "No way, lock me away"
And she said “Joe, it’s okay to not be okay”
“It’s like I’ve got brain damage, you don’t know what it’s like”
“Calm down dude, just open your mind
Everybody has moments when they’re broken inside
Just live and let live and let it go over time”
It was smart of me to follow that noble advice
At the time I hated myself and wasn’t coping with life
So here’s my song to you cos I could never help you
The way you helped me
I just wanna let you know that I’m fine so…
[Chorus]
I got a worry doll to handle my shit
The light in all the darkness and the candle is lit
You stick around when I’m dirty and I’m wrecked
So you sure as hell deserve me at my best
[Verse 2]
You were good with it all, I could just spill it all
Carried me over the bumps and I never hit a wall
When I’m lying in my bed, crying in the dead of night
Lying to myself and saying I could never get it right
You’d turn up right at that precise moment
And in a mere blink it’s like my fucking eyes opened
I realised things that I wouldn’t have otherwise noticed
And now I’m lovin’ life and that’s the reason I wrote this
We all got a worry doll but what I have is an angel
Soften the blow whenever realities painful
Talking it over with you is like rattling an eight-ball
Worry dolls keep me happy and faithful
[Chorus]
I got a worry doll to handle my shit
The light in all the darkness and the candle is lit
You stick around when I’m dirty and I’m wrecked
So you sure as hell deserve me at my best
[Verse 3]
When I was mad, cranky, sad or angry I texted you
Or when I was super emotional and needed a second view
Something in me told me whatever you’d say would get me through
You meant so much to me, such a shame you never knew
If only I had learnt sooner how little I meant to you
Just take a look at the shit life that you left me to
The past happened and I’m attempting to forget it all
Now I’m my own worry doll and I don’t need you anymore
I got a worry doll to handle my shit
The light in all the darkness and the candle is lit
You stick around when I’m dirty and I’m wrecked
So you sure as hell deserve me at my best
[Verse 1]
Lately I’ve been crazy and not likin’ myself
I’ve been a ball of emotion, it’s like I’m fightin’ myself
Cos my love life and life was crushed right in front of my eyes
