Skin lyrics

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.

And I know, we go deeper than skin

But what lies within is

Still deeper than we know.

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.

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.

Yeah I know, we go deeper than skin

But what lies within is

Still deeper than we know.

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.

All I ever wanted was to hold you

What can I do now to make things new

I ain't tryin' 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.

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.

I couldn't heal myself with time alone

I have you tattooed on my skin.
