Lyrics
Underneath 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.
Promise nothing no one but yourself,
'Cause I've been dying just to live a little longer.
And I can’t sleep,
I want something of my own.
I’ll let the shore wash me out with the morning light.
When I broke away I found myself so out of reach.
Lonely eyes staring right back at me.
Promise me I’m better off, promise me I’m better off
Just tell me I was wrong.
Just tell me that I’m not enough.
Don’t think I ever want to put this behind us.
I never want to put this behind us.
I don’t want to forget you.
No, I don’t want to forget you
Consumed by your empty words
And the thought of a better life.
Every passing second reminds me
That I can’t turn back now.
When everything I say and every word
I write means nothing to you,
I mean nothing to you
If you close your eyes you’ll wake up someone new.
Surrounded by faces you swore you’ve never seen.
I said I’d never give in to the
Loneliness underneath my skin.
I said I’d never give in
Keep walking through
These walls that I feel in every bone
Keep walking through
These walls that we built on our own
I don’t want to forget you
No, I don’t want to forget you
Just tell me I was wrong
Just tell me that I’m not enough
