Cross-Eyed Bear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I broke your doll,
It was cross eyed, that's all,
I only wanted it to help it see straight,
But like a half broken moon,
Sooner than soon,
I was up on your wall,
Smaller than small,
In a half painted frame,
The wood wouldn't stain,
And I hope that reminds you,
Of the part you couldn't change in me,
If you push me I'll fall,
If you pull me I'll drown,
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,
I won't rise again
I scratched your car,
Where the bird left a stain,
But I only wanted to help you see straight,
But like a half broken moon,
Sooner than soon,
I was up on your wall,
Smaller than small,
In a half painted frame,
Where the wood wouldn't stain,
And I hope that reminds you,
Of the part you couldn't change in me,
If you push me I'll fall,
If you pull me I'll drown,
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,
I won't rise again
I won't rise again
I'm not God, I'm not God,
I love you but I'm not God
