"With great power, comes great responsibility."


They think I'm strong

They treat me like it

All lifelong

But it feels like a counterfeit

 

I want to be a China doll

In a China shop

So fragile and small

So they won't let me drop

 

I don't want to

Always be strong

If you believe that's not true

You are wrong

 

I want to be a China doll
In a China shop
So fragile and small
So they won't let me drop

 

I am exhausted

From this fight

Rest is needed

From this plight

 

I want to be a China doll
In a China shop
So fragile and small
So they won't let me drop

 

I am tired of strength

I am tired of of responsibility

At a great length

It is becoming a biggie

 

I want to be a China doll
In a China shop
So fragile and small
So they won't let me drop

 

Can' t I be weak

Just for a little while

Maybe just for a week

Just so I can smile

 

I want to be a China doll
In a China shop
So fragile and small
So they won't let me drop

 

I want comfort

I want a caring hug

Before I become inert

And my grave is dug

Sometimes people are tied of being strong and would enjoy a little break and some comfort. People alwys expecting great things from you can be overhwelming and exhusting. Being normal for once would be a nice change.
