Skin

everybody knows that I should love you
it isn't hard to see
and everybody says that I should be thinking of you
when i wake and when i sleep

and i feel that weight inside your body as I start to move in
and I hold your head inside my hands and I try to feel it
but it's just skin

every time we talk I strain to swallow
the words that push to set me free
and I hate myself 'cause no matter how hard i pray
I can't be what you want me to be

and I watch myself outside my body as I start to move in
and I tell myself over and over this time will be different
but it's just skin

all I really want is to love you,
for my mind to stop, and my lungs to breathe
but instead i have this pit in my stomach
from keeping you wanting me

so I'm gonna go
and if i call just let it ring
