Skin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We made ourselves a home out of our dreams Brought with us this love now bittersweet And maybe I could say now that I always thought of you How you've run to walk with me your whole life through [Pre-Chorus] And I know we go deeper than skin But what lies within is still deeper than we know [Chorus] And for all this pantomime You should see the state I'm in I couldn't heal myself with time alone I have you tattooed on my skin [Verse 2] This house is full of stories we both told These rooms, their very stage where they'd unfold These walls, they whisper secrets and memories thereof But this door no longer leads us to that love [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I know we go deeper than skin But what lies within is still deeper than we know [Chorus] And for all this pantomime You should see the state I'm in I couldn't heal myself with time alone I have you tattooed on my skin [Bridge] All I ever wanted was to hold you What can I do now to make things new? I ain't trying to write you into a song Cos you're too sacred and I would feel wrong But what irony life holds, I was finally ready to meet you half way You turned and walked away [Interlude] Without your love my life Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust [Chorus] And for all this pantomime You should see the state I'm in I couldn't heal myself with time alone I have you tattooed on my skin
