Toy on a Shelf

I can't tell that little girl
To give her mother up for gone
That I know these ropes better than most
And all the wishing in the world doesn't work
Cause I also know you never give up the hope

She said I feel like a toy on the shelf
That nobody wants
All the people see me but they walk by
What's wrong with me
What's wrong with me

How you gonna look at her
Say I love you but then you walk away
Don't you remember being tender
Or was that never a thing for you
You're breaking her before she's even whole

She said I feel like a toy on the shelf
That nobody wants
All the people see me but they walk by
What's wrong with me
What's wrong with me

I can tell her she's perfect
I can and do but it doesn't matter
Her aunt is just the mother she can't have
I try my best but she knows she isn't mine
What you should have heard keeps me up at night

She said I feel like a toy on the shelf
That nobody wants
All the people see me but they walk by
What's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
