Beneath My Skin

Intro

Mm-hmm

Mm

Oh

Verse 1

Changing like a season

Rearranging the air in the hall

Your eyes are a promise I never heard

A story kept on your palms

Breath stays stuck

Just to listen to you speak

You leaned in

Loud pulse under my skin

Pre-Chorus

Locked the rhythm deep inside

Left the music in the dark

Only silence used to play

Before you left a mark

Chorus

You were the heartbeat

Heartbeat underneath my skin

Warmth for every cold night

Every night I let you in

Built a home

Safe inside your name

Flame doesn't ask

Love doesn't warn

Standing in the ash now

Heartbeat that you betrayed

You betrayed

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Beating still

Oh oh

Stronger still

Verse 2

Midnight rooms smell like salt

We knew the secrets

Tracing a map on my shoulder

Thinking this was for keeps

Beauty is a lie

Dress in silk just to leave

Tear it down

Quiet in the hall

Pre-Chorus

Locked the rhythm deep inside

Left the music in the dark

Only silence used to play

Before you left a mark

Chorus

You were the heartbeat

Heartbeat underneath my skin

Warmth for every cold night

Every night I let you in

Built a home

Safe inside your name

Flame doesn't ask

Love doesn't warn

Standing in the ash now

Heartbeat that you betrayed

You betrayed

Bridge

I saw the signs

I read the signs

I ignored the signs

Late night no answer

Slow return cold shoulder

A habit not a prayer

You were only passing through

Poured my life out

On the kitchen floor

Chorus

You were the heartbeat

Heartbeat underneath my skin

Warmth for every cold night

Every night I let you in

Built a home

Safe inside your name

Flame doesn't ask

Love doesn't warn

Standing in the ash now

Heartbeat that you betrayed

You betrayed

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Beating still

Oh oh

Stronger still
