In This Skin

by xxLivxx   Oct 6, 2008


You pull me in
with each word you spin
off your tongue with
such smooth precision
every word makes an
incision on this heart
i was given
you blow my mind
why is it that
you make everything
fine when it is not fine
it's falling apart
just like my heart
when everything's off
you make everything start
and you just leave my
head twirling around
and around i love
the sound of your voice
it seems i have no
choice but to give in
to this mystery that is
you and me
and what we could be
or what we couldn't be?
i don't really know
and i don't wanna show
or let my feelings grow
before i know
this could work
i don't wanna hurt
believe it or not
it's skin under this shirt
and it easily breaks
and it easily bleeds
which is the last thing i need
so before i proceed
let me say one thing
handle with care
cause my emotions
to me, are just like air
they keep me strong
when life's not playing fair
so if you cant promise
you'll be there
then leave
cause i don't wanna
be deceived and
i don't wanna believe
a lie cause I'm tired
of crying and feeling
like dying and I'm
tired of sighing
and saying every thing's OK
day by day
when really
I've lost my way and
and i struggle
just to lay
down
at night when
nothings alright
and i fight and fight
just to breathe
just to hide the scars
under my sleeves
so no one can see
the pain inside...
