You drop your promises like a porcelain cup; Drink from it but you don't want to clean your mess up; Well my heart was antique; an heirloom that's shattered; Its pieces lie at your feet; not like that mattered. Now that I'm broken, I'll always showcase the lines That make up my scars; they'll decrease a hundred times My value, to find a good home because I'm chipped; And who on Earth would press those splinters to their lips?

I Was Porcelain
You drop your promises like a porcelain cup; Drink from it but you don't want to clean your mess up; Well my heart was antique; an heirloom that's shattered; Its pieces lie at your feet; not like that mattered. Now that I'm broken, I'll always showcase the lines That make up my scars; they'll decrease a hundred times My value, to find a good home because I'm chipped; And who on Earth would press those splinters to their lips?
