China Doll Lyrics - Tom Odell

[Verse 1] 

Don't be so hard on yourself 

You gave it all you had 

It's something inside you 

Petrified you 

Try not to feel so bad 

Don't be so hard on yourself 

The game is cruel and tough 

You had a [straight ?] 

And a couple of aces 

But it wasn't quite enough 

[Chorus] 

That's the way it goes 

Some you win and some you don't 

Some you [?] and some get broke 

Like China dolls, like China dolls 

Delicate and beautiful

[Post-Chrous] 

Look at their purple, look at their purple eyes 

Your stepfather's on the phone 

He wants to know if you're coming home 

He sick of you always getting stoned 

With your China dolls 

And your China dolls 

Delicate and beautiful 

[Verse 2] 

Don't be so hard on yourself 

It mean no that you try 

You gave 'em the love 

Like a couple of doves 

They didn't wanna fly 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

That's the way goes 

Some they feel your heart and soul 

Some they treat you so damn cold 

Like China dolls, like China dolls 

Delicate and beautiful 

[Post-Chorus] 

Look at their devil, look at their devil eyes 

The police are on the phone 

They want to know if you're coming home 

I wish that your mother had never sold 

Those China dolls, those China dolls 

Delicate and beautiful 

Those China dolls, those China dolls 

Delicate and beautiful
