Lyrics

You called me pretty when I couldn't breathe
I held my posture just to make you see
You liked me soft, I stayed that way
Even when I shattered every day
I danced for you in quiet rooms
Your silence louder than the tune
I smiled like I believed your lies
Still spinning for your ghost at night
I'm just a girl in a plastic ballet
Porcelain heart, one wrong step, I break
You loved me when I looked like grace
But never stayed for my real face
I fold, I bend, I try, I ache—
Just to hear you call my name
Still alone in the role you gave
In this plastic ballet
I stitched my worth in satin thread
You clapped and kissed her lips instead
And I said "Fine," and laughed real low
But my eyes have never let it go
The music box is running out
But I still turn, I still bow down
I trained to hide what I became—
A dancer you forgot to name
I'm just a girl in a plastic ballet
Smiling wide while fading away
You loved me when I looked like grace
But never stayed for my real face
I fold, I bend, I try, I ache
Just to hear you call my name
Still alone in the role you gave
In this plastic ballet
And if I fall
Would you catch me?
Or just call it art?
