Under My Skin
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 come to life when the light turns on
But die with every curtain fall
My troubled life makes my troubled heart
Hold on for this curtain call
Buried in smoke and mirrors, no one can find
These little pieces I've tried to leave behind
If I showed you all my truth, could you still be mine?
Would you still be mine?
I just want you near, I want you to stay
But if you come too close, my edges will fray
I won't let you in and show you my pain
I'd rather lie here in the darkness
'Causе you don't know what's under my skin
Close to my body, close to my hеart
Like it's always been, under my skin
As shadows chase, never to be caught
Hoping for the break of dawn
Look away and take me from my flaws
And tell me what is going on
Buried in smoke and mirrors, no one can find
These little pieces I've tried to leave behind
If I showed you all my truth, could you still be mine?
Would you still be mine?
I just want you near, I want you to stay
But if you come too close, my edges will fray
I won't let you in and show you my pain
I'd rather lie here in the darkness
'Cause you don't know what's under my skin
Close to my body, close to my heart
Like it's always been, under my skin
Open me up, facing my fears, show me what love is
Build me back up, fade all my tears, show me what trust is
It's in your eyes, I know you care
How hard being tough is
How hard being loved is
I just want you near, I want you to stay
But if you come too close, my edges will fray
I won't let you in and show you my pain
I'd rather lie here in the darkness
'Cause you don't know what's under my skin
Close to my body, close to my heart
Like it's always been, under my skin
Close to my body, close to my heart
Like it's always been, under my skin
