Skin For Scars

Tie these hands
They shake too much to hold you,
To hold you.
With wandering eyes
It's so hard to watch you
To watch out for you.
To watch out for you

Every time you almost died
I chased your soul to the sky
And brought it back to you,
Before your body knew that it was gone.
Every cut that didn't scar,
I know exactly where they are
I wear them all for you
Your skin is such a nicer tissue

I'm out of shape and
Much too slow to chase you
To chase you.
It's time you found somebody new
To save you
‘Cause I can't save you
I can't save you

No this is not alright
Everything's not fine
Don't trust me with your life
Don't put your faith in me
I'm much too weak to keep you safe tonight

No this is not alright
Everything's not fine
Don't trust me with your life
Don't put your faith in me
I'm much too weak to keep you safe tonight

Every time you almost died
I chased your soul to the sky
And brought it back to you,
Before your body knew that it was gone.
Every cut that didn't scar,
I know exactly where they are
I wear them all for you
Your skin is such a nicer tissue

I'm cutting off my wings
I don't deserve to fly
What the hell have I done,
I almost let you die.
I let you down my friend,
I failed you once again.
But this time is way too close
I can't save you

I'm a fake
I'm entirely made out of plastic
I'm a fake
I'll destroy almost anything delicate
I'm a fake
Make you think that everything's perfect now
I'm a fake, I'm a fake.
And I've been found out
Every time you almost died
I chased your soul to the sky
And brought it back to you
Before your body knew that it was gone
Every cut that didn't scar
I know exactly where they are
I wear them all for you
Your skin is such a nicer tissue,
I traded my skin for your scars.
