Beneath My Skin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She calls my number after midnight Says she has something I should know A photograph beneath the bedside And a story practiced soft and slow [Pre-Chorus] I tell her, “Please, don’t pull me in” She says the trouble’s just begun But every time I ask her when She turns away from what she’s done [Chorus] She says I’m the one, but I never made that promise She says I’m the one, while the room begins to spin I hear my name in every accusation But I won’t wear a lie beneath my skin [Verse 2] Her friends all gather by the doorway Watching me like I’m on trial She holds a letter in her fingers And answers every question with a smile [Pre-Chorus] I tell her, “Please, don’t pull me in” She says the truth will come undone But every time I ask her when She turns away from what she’s done [Chorus] She says I’m the one, but I never made that promise She says I’m the one, while the room begins to spin I hear my name in every accusation But I won’t wear a lie beneath my skin [Bridge] No more running from the rumor No more signing what I’m not If she wants to call it love now She can keep the blame she brought [Final Chorus] She says I’m the one, but I never made that promise She says I’m the one, while the room begins to spin I hear my name in every accusation But I won’t wear a lie beneath my skin [Outro] I won’t wear a lie beneath my skin No, I won’t wear a lie beneath my skin
