Lyrics

They used old grocery bags, it's all they had
Cut out friends and family
Drew the smiles on them that they never see
Only in dreams

Grandma told them to pray, their mom looked away
He only came out at night
From the last door on the right
One they couldn't fight

Chorus


They lived in make believe
To escape reality
Not all little girls live in a perfect world
They wanted a fairytale
Laughter and not the living hell
That they know so well
Inside those four walls
Lies, abuse, and alcohol
And Paper Dolls

Curls and sunday best, no one would guess
Those little girls had no voice
The truth wasn't a choice
Quiet like little toys

Hand in hand they went, cutout silouettes
Sisters who couldn't be torn apart
Little broken hearts
Silent dolls that they are

Chorus

They lived in make believe
To escape reality
Not all little girls live in a perfect world
They wanted a fairytale
Laughter and not the living hell
That they know so well
Inside those four walls
Lies, abuse, and alcohol
And Paper Dolls
