Look  at my mouth, a thin  painted line
Look  at my limbs, bent  up and bundled in twine
Forever, ever  mine
Form  of a tree, shape  of a child
 I wish  I could cry, stuck  in a permanent smile
Forever, ever  mine
I  know you must  have loved me sometime
 But now  I'm just a toy
 I know you must  have loved me sometime
 First there was me, nothing but time
 Till he came along, you told me you'd always be mine
 Forever, ever mine
 Look at his face, somewhat like mine
 But look at his nose, you can always be sure that he's lying
 Forever, ever mine
 But now  I'm just a toy who needs you
 A boy to be who
Needs to be
 Better than him, worthy of you
 Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do
 Forever, ever mine
 I call him liar, you call him son
 If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run
 Forever
 I know you must have loved me sometime
 But now I'm just a toy
 I know you must have loved me sometime
 But now  I'm just a toy
