Skin

I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise
Everything I’ve held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn’t yours at all
Falling apart, and all that I’m asking
Is it a crime, am I overreacting
Oh, he’s under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
So what you had didn’t fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I know now where you’ve been
Braids have been un-tied
Ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
My tears you’ll taste
Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson
Oh, he’s under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
I don’t believe I’ll be alright
I don’t believe I’ll be ok
I don’t believe how you throw me away
I do believe you didn’t try
I do blame you for every lie
When I look in your eyes, I don’t see mine
Oh, he’s under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
Oh my permission to sin
You might have started my reckoning
I’ve got a reason now to bury him alive
Another little white lie
