Ghost in Your Skin

Verse 1

You smile when they ask you how you're doing

Say you're fine then you sink all alone

You let them take the part of you that's growing

And hand it over like it's not your own

You laugh at every joke they get to tell you

While they never even ask about your day

You give the love they never learned to hold you

And it cuts you but you look the other way

Pre-Chorus

You're a ghost in your own skin

Fading out while they pull you in

Chorus

Girl you're not being real with yourself

Letting everybody walk all over you

You keep a smile on your own shelf

While they're taking every piece of you

Oh you're the one who's bleeding out alone

Girl you're not being real with your own

Post-Chorus

Real with your own

Real with your own

You're not being real with your own

Verse 2

You say you're tough but your hands are shaking

When they phone at two in the night

You save your tears for the dark and wake at

Morning wounds you hide from the light

They borrow you till nothing's left to borrow

Then they leave you standing in the rain

You'd rather break than ever let them know you

So you smile but the smile is the pain

Pre-Chorus

You're a ghost in your own skin

Fading out while they pull you in

Chorus

Girl you're not being real with yourself

Letting everybody walk all over you

You keep a smile on your own shelf

While they're taking every piece of you

Oh you're the one who's bleeding out alone

Girl you're not being real with your own

Bridge

You got one heart

One voice

One story

Honey stand your ground

Honey stand up for yourself now

Chorus

Girl you're not being real with yourself

Letting everybody walk all over you

You keep a smile on your own shelf

While they're taking every piece of you

Oh you're the one who's bleeding out alone

Girl you're not being real with your own

Outro

Real with your own

Real with your own

You're not being real with your own
