Skin

Poets of the Fall

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
