Skin Lyrics

Singing, audience ablaze

But your spotlight starts a fire

You were praying for some rain, but it turns out I'm gasoline

I loved the fire that you were, until you burned down our bridges

My smile turned to stone, but my skin grew in thickness

Because of what you did

You were just a kid, but you knew better

Because when I was young, the things that you've done, I would never

Because who you are is who you've always been

And who you claim to be didn't ever exist

But I was too young to know the difference

But now, baby, you're in exile

I don't wanna test the waters

Waters turn to waves, and waves cause people drowning every day

Riding waves feels so futile

I was born to sing not swim

Your dimming light, your pointless fight is now mine to win

I've always seen it in your soul, but now it's on your skin

Breaking hearts to hear them shatter

But my heart is made of granite

You can chip away at its face, but it still beats the same

You told me to let them go, the rumors in one ear out the other

I believed you like a sister believes her little brother

But what you did

You were just a kid, but you knew better

Because when I was young, the things that you've done, I would never

Because who you are is just impossible

You love to push things over just to watch them fall

But you held onto me, because without me, there's nothing at all

But now, baby, you're in exile

I don't wanna test the waters

Waters turn to waves, and waves cause people drowning every day

Riding waves feels so futile

I was born to sing not swim

Your dimming light, your pointless fight, is now mine to win

I've always seen it in your soul, but now it's on your skin

I held your head up with my reputation

I watched the girls you broke turn into your motivation

And I cannot defend what I don't understand

The girls that loved you, they were just another token

You treat me like glass just to know I can be broken

And I will not pretend that I don't understand

I will not defend you, don't you understand?

Singing, audience ablaze

But your spotlight starts a fire

You were praying for some rain, but it turns out I'm gasoline

And now, baby, you're in exile

I don't wanna test the waters

Waters turn to waves, and waves cause people drowning every day

Riding waves feels so futile

I was born to sing not swim

Your dimming light, your pointless fight, is now mine to win

I've always seen it in your soul, but now it's on your skin

I've always seen it in your soul, but now it's on your skin

I've always seen it in your soul, but now it's on your skin
