lyrics

You were my savior
But you clipped your wings back
Just to save face

You were my lover
And you came as you were to me
And that’s OK

You were my puppet on a string
I could make do almost anything

But to me, darling, you were the masquerade
The ball, the band
And the pretty little girls singing
Ooh oooh (x2)

I used to say that I was
Sick of my skin
But now I’m realizing
It’s not the skin, it’s the veins

And you may find
That we are quite different
But if you look under the pigment
It’s all the same

You were my skin and bones
When you weren’t around
Baby I didn’t feel safe

‘Cause we’d go drinking out
At the bar alone
And you would end up crying
And all the drunkards would end up singing
Ooh oooh (x2)

So in the middle of the night
I stripped you of your skin
‘Cause lately baby that’s the only thing
That I feel comfortable in

I left the haven
That kept me safe
‘Cause what’s the point of staying
If all I do is give and all you do is take

Maybe on day we will meet again
And you will still love me
But darling I just won’t feel the same

You’ll still steal me away
From the world
And the only thing I will be able to do
Is sing
Ooh oooh
