Now I recall you telling me that you were afraid of being alone
Now that you have found someone you've stripped him down to the bone
Don't you feel like you've been wrong all along
Swallow these knives its easier than trying to swallow your lies

Rip the skin from my bones and wear it like a gown
You can prance around like I let you down, like the world has let you down

You have the most beautiful voice I've ever cursed (whats this you said to me)
It numbs the pain but just for the moment (will it ever return)
So turn back the clock I've waited long enough
Don't stop talking (make it clear)
I've been waiting (all these years too)

Rip the skin from my bones and wear it like a gown
You can prance around like I let you down, like the world has let you down
