Matthew Ryan - Trouble Doll lyrics

Trouble doll, you look so pretty when you're sad And the laughs we had have turned to madness Lovers come to call and your voice gets soft In the painted gla** behind your lashes Though angels pray for you Only the blues can save you If only for a second in the shimmering light When the night's collapsed but it don't shatter or sting It's a porcelain song from a marionette In a dangerous sway as if under god's own strings Salvation watches over you Redemption only borrows you A little at a time in this world Real gone, real gone girl Standing high above on that bridge in Lake Charles Tell the truth love whose d**h did you see? All the art on the wall and the quiet down the hall Send a sinking feeling to a different story My lonesome prays for you In hours when there's only you Well the ghost of a drink on the counter by the sink Is smeared, warm and full of empty promises It's a well worn poem where the words stick together But the meaning seems numb till the morning washes All down and over you Heartache sure owes you All the happiness in this world Real gone, real gone girl Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light Sha la la la la, a little light
