Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Refrain

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

(Repeat)

(Repeat Chorus)

Your skin is such a nicer tissue

Bridge

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

Verse 3

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro

I traded my skin for your scars
