Porcelain Lyrics

There's a new girl in the corner, I'm a local at the bar

She's breaking the loneliest of hearts

So when she came to talk to me, I probably should have seen

This would be a train wreck from the start

I'm so tired of waiting for this boy to ask

I drink to every minute as they pass

He looks an honest man, treat me decent when he can

But I know that I'm moving way too fast

A month until December, it's the year since we first met

Working every hour for our bed

Don't know if it'll last, but the preacher's move in fast

No one likes a sinner until you're wed

I saw my mother crying, she hides it with her sleeve

She dreams of all the places we'd have seen

But it's the same bar that we're in, like cracks in porcelain

Keep pouring, but I'm empty when I leave

Now you fear you'll fade away

And no one's there to watch you as you fall

Just one or two of these a day

Would surely help to ease the pain

No, you won't feel anything at all

Anything at all

Do you think we'll ever make it

Don't know until we try

My hands begin to tremble from the fight

Now the way you look at me in sweet sobriety

Leaves me feeling like my throat's a little dry
