[Intro] In a town where the crooked houses lean Lives a girl nobody's ever seen With button eyes of blackest thread And porcelain skin like the nearly dead She watches through her dusty window pane Counting drops of acid rain While normal children laugh and play She stitches smiles to pass the day They call her strange, they call her odd A broken doll forgotten by God But in her chest where a heart should beat Lies something dark and bittersweet [Verse 1] She wakes each morning to the sound (to the sound) Of footsteps never coming round Her button eyes can't cry real tears (cry real tears) Been that way for seventeen years Mama made her from spare parts she found (parts she found) Stitched together, barely bound [Pre-Chorus] Nobody wants a girl like me (girl like me) Too broken for reality (reality) [Chorus] Button eyes can't see the beauty they say I lack (that I lack!) Stitched-up heart won't ever love me back (love me back!) Button eyes in a button world so cold (so cold!) Just a story that should never have been told Lonely girl, lonely girl (lonely girl!) Trapped inside this twisted pearl (twisted pearl!) Button eyes Watching life pass by [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Met a boy with clockwork in his chest (in his chest) Said he understood me best We danced in shadows, sang in gray (sang in gray) Two broken toys that couldn't stay He wound down on a Tuesday afternoon (afternoon) Left me humming our sad tune [Pre-Chorus] Nobody wants a love like ours (love like ours) Made of rust and fallen stars (fallen stars) [Chorus] Button eyes can't see the beauty they say I lack (that I lack!) Stitched-up heart won't ever love me back (love me back!) Button eyes in a button world so cold (so cold!) Just a story that should never have been told Lonely girl, lonely girl (lonely girl!) Trapped inside this twisted pearl (twisted pearl!) Button eyes Watching life pass by [Bridge] They say I'm not real enough to matter Just a doll that's starting to shatter But in my chest where thread meets seam I feel things normal girls can't dream Love that's dark and bittersweet Heart that skips on crooked beats Maybe broken's beautiful too Maybe strange is just a different view [Spoken Interlude] She took her button eyes out one by one Placed them gently in the setting sun "Maybe," she whispered to the dying light "Being blind is better than this sight" [Final Chorus] Button eyes can't see the beauty they say I lack (that I lack!) Stitched-up heart won't ever love me back (love me back!) Button eyes in a button world so cold (so cold!) But I'm a story that deserves to be told Broken girl, broken girl (broken girl!) You're a precious twisted pearl (twisted pearl!) Button eyes Learning how to fly [Outro] In a town where the crooked houses lean Lives a girl nobody's ever seen But she's learning how to love herself This strange and beautiful forgotten doll upon the shelf Button eyes Finally see
