Skin

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 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 halfway

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
