Skin
Kyla La Grange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm still alone in the back room
Fighting with a black mood, keeping quiet
And I'm still looking through a cracked door
Looking at you, all in the light
And you don't know how hard I tried
To keep my eyes shut tight
But I keep seeing her skin on your skin
Oh I keep seeing her skin on your skin

But I don't wanna screw you, bad boy
Wanna make you sad, boy
I can never say
I'm so done with this, my love

Now I see it in my sleep, boy
Hear it in my ears, boy
I can never say
I'm so done with this my love

Why did you want her that much?
I'm still alone like I told you, noone's gonna get through I'm on fire
And I will burn til' it don't hurt
I'm going headfirst, hear me cry
And you don't know how far I've gone
It tears me up inside
'Cause I keep seeing her lips on your lips
Oh I keep seeing her lips on your lips

But I don't wanna screw you, bad boy
Wanna make you sad, boy
I can never say
I'm so done with this my love

And now I see it in my sleep, boy
Hear it in my ears, boy I can never say
I'm so done with this my, love

Why did you want her that much?
Gimme time and I'll get better
Don't you know that I love, better




Just gimme time and I'll get better
Don't you know that I love, better

Gran Skog

I was thrilled when I first heard this song, it's amazing!! It's a lot darker than "So sweet" and kind of reminds me of "Cannibals", which to me is a really good thing! =)
