C.west - SKIN

Frustrated is an understatement
This situation's complicated
What I'm feeling I just can't explain it But I'll paint a picture for you
It was just the right amount of wrong And the wrong amount of right
When the whole world is sleeping
I'm up all night Uncomfortable
When I can't get it off my skin
You come in and you comfort
When the walls are closing in
And it feels like I'm going under it You're the reason for my peace
And you're reminding me
I'm not the thing that I'm wearing
I don't need to hide the thing that's broken I know healing comes when I expose it
And it's okay if everybody knows it My pain has a bigger purpose
When I can't get it off my skin
You come in and you comfort
When the walls are closing in
And it feels like I'm going under You're the reason for my peace
And you're reminding me
I'm not the thing that I'm wearing
It's in the way that you hold me
When everything's ruined around me
You're showing me
It's gonna be okay
And it's in the way that you talk to me
Your voice is the only thing keeping me
You whisper to me
It's gonna be okay
When I can't get it off my skin
You come in and you comfort
When the walls are closing in
And it feels like I'm going under You're the reason for my peace and you're reminding me
I'm not the thing that I'm wearing
And when it all just falls apart
And my tears are blinding
You are right there in the middle
To keep me from crashing
And when I open up my eyes
To see the storm is over
Everything that once was broken
Is put back together
And I know it was you
It's always been you
