lyrics

I remember life at the beginning
Standing in my box how I would daydream
I was quite the loveliest of playthings
New and shiny too.... til it all changed

You had to pick me up and pull the heart string
Who's a lucky boy
I'm such a pretty little thing
Here to be enjoyed
So let the fun begin
Wanna play with me
Stroke my plastic skin?

All the toys lost and forgotten
The given up, rejected and rotten
Don't play this game anymore
To all the boys and girls that've suffered
The ugly dolls so unloved and unwanted
Now we are finding our voice
We are The Broken Toys

Dya have to play so rough
That stitches come away
Battered and beaten up
I get more ugly by the day
Pull my head clean off
And glue it back again
Stuffing all falls out
But you just shove it all back in
And leave me on the floor Until you're bored again
Try to fix me up
But know I'll never be the same
And with the damage done
There's nothing left to gain

Chorus

We all fall down again
We all fall down again

Gotta stitch up the wounds
And pick up the pieces
Nothing to lose
Cos we're already broken
And out of the blue
Your beautiful plaything's gonna turn on you

We'll be shouting the truth
And scream if we have to
With nothing to prove
Cos we're already broken
We're already broken
And we're gonna turn on
Turn on you

Chorus
