In My Skin

How many reasons do I have left inside?

You leave me to tend my wounds

Dreams are broken in times of silence

Words no longer find a truth



Can you see it again?

Can you even pretend?



How many times must I hold back my tears

Before you leave me with no pride?

Broken dreams that just wont mend

A lifetime before my eyes



Leave me here, I don't see you

I no longer hide

Dreams are just memories

My skin is thicker this time



My sense of self, now smothered by your lies

The years have worn me down

What reason can I try to find

To tell myself "it's alright"?



Can you see it again?

Can you even defend?



Leave me here I don't see you

I no longer hide

Dreams are just memories

My skin is thicker this time
