- Porcelain Heart LyricsI lost all I had that April day
I turn to my friends
Nothing to say
I wrote down a name
And read it twice
I wallow in shame
I said, that I love eternal schemes
I cling to my past
Like childish dreams
I promised to stay
And held my breath
I went far away
I see roots beneath my feet
Led me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now, don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
Kept inside our idol race
Ghosts of an idol's false embrace
Rest your head now, don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
I turn to my friends
Nothing to say
I wrote down a name
And read it twice
I wallow in shame
I said, that I love eternal schemes
I cling to my past
Like childish dreams
I promised to stay
And held my breath
I went far away
Led me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now, don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
Kept inside our idol race
Ghosts of an idol's false embrace
Rest your head now, don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
