Letra de Paper Doll

[Verso 1]
How can I keep myself from falling apart when this is so hard?
I see you there up against the wall, with folded arms
You don't define me, you don't own me, but now here we are
I want to impress you, want to impress you, with your empty eyes

[Pre Coro]
Just stare me down
Just stare me down

[Coro]
This is the first time that I've opened my mouth
But it won't be the last, no it won't be the last
I need attention, I need the spotlight, won't you let me in?

Oh, oh, I've been falling apart
Like a paper doll right into your arms
Won't you dress me up and make me talk?
I will let you in
'Cause that's what I want
That's what I want

[Verso 2]
Now that I'm self-aware and torn apart, do you still care?
I've played the victim, just an actor putting on a show
I'm now searching for my former self, the girl you stole from me
She's waiting tables, biding time before her big debut
Here she is now (here she is)

[Coro]
This is the first time that I've opened my mouth
But it won't be the last, no it won't be the last
I need attention, I need the spotlight, won't you let me in?

Oh, oh, I've been falling apart
Like a paper doll right into your arms
Won't you dress me up and make me talk?
I will let you in
Won't you dress me up and make me talk?
I will let you in
'Cause that's what I want
That's what I want

[Puente]
This peace and quiet, all this silence, this will never do
I need the chaos and the violence
I'm not keeping quiet

[Instrumental]

[Pre Coro]
Oh, oh, I've been falling apart like a paper doll

[Coro]
This is the first time that I've opened my mouth
But it won't be the last, no it won't be the last
I need attention, I need the spotlight, won't you let me in?

Oh, oh, I've been falling apart
Like a paper doll right in front of you
Won't you dress me up and make me talk?
I will let you in
Won't you dress me up and make me talk?
I will let you in
'Cause that's what I want
