Second Skin

I saw her in an empty bar
The smell of wine and cheap cigars
Trigger visions of her face to this day
We tried to dance for years to come
But two can't lead and waltz as one
We loved and learned
And learned to love
But it was not enough
Foolish pride got in our way

She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay for all the past please

So now we're living far apart
I hope to god our paths don't cross
This may seem shallow..but her beauty makes me weak
I long to hold her once again
And reconcile and then give in
To realize that later on we made the same mistake
Hold on to the lessons you've learned

She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay for all the past
So much to tow
Bogged down with all the history to hold
The blame fell hard on me
Apologies were too short lived
She never really could forgive mistakes
She took my heart
She took my soul
She took my fragile hand to hold
She took advantage all the time
I'll take her back cause her love makes me blind

Farewell, goodbye
God knows we tried
Our union so unsure
Could never endure

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

Brought down by our storm
Our return is no more

But we were so lost in love
That we never found resolve

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

I don't want to
Start all over
And try and find
Another shoulder
To lean on 'cause
Yours makes me feel safe

And now you're moving on
You're such a blessing
And please stay strong
For what it's worth
I'm wishing you the best

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

I don't want to
Start all over
And try and find
Another shoulder
To lean on 'cause
Yours makes me feel safe

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

I don't want to
Start all over
And try and find
Another shoulder
To lean on 'cause
Yours makes me feel safe

Yours makes me feel safe
'Cause yours make me feel safe
I'm wishing you the best
