Skin You're In
You brushed past my ego today
Sometimes I push too hard and so you run away
You said, I'm done with all these childish games we play
But I love you
So please make it easier to stay?
Addicted to the way you made me feel
You were my dust-haloed saint, but you were real
I said, I love you, and I wore it on my sleeve
But somehow that made it easier to leave
Would it make a difference if I was older?
Would it make a difference if I was thin?
Could you love the weight upon my shoulders?
Babe, I love and I love and I love the skin you're in
Nights that end in screams and slamming doors
You've lost your patience by the seventh time I call
It's late and we've been hours at this brawl
But I won't sleep till I know what it's for
Would it make a difference if I was older?
Would it make a difference if I was thin?
Could you love the weight upon my shoulders?
Babe, I love and I love and I love the skin you're in
I worry when I haven't seen your face
Neuroses do not give a girl much grace
You said, I love you, but I really need the space
And I'm struggling
So please get off my case?
Would it make a difference if I was older?
Would it make a difference if I was thin?
Could you love the weight upon my shoulders?
Babe, I love and I love and I love
The skin you're in
Babe, I love and I love and I love
The skin you're in
Babe, I love and I love and I love and I
Love and I love and I love and I love and I love
The skin you're in
