I come to life, when the light turns on But die with every curtain fall My troubled mind, makes my troubled heart Hold on for this curtain call Buried in smoke and mirrors no one can find These little pieces I've tried to leave behind If I showed you all my truth, could you still be mine? Would you still be mine? I just want you near, I want you to stay But if you come too close, my head is afraid I won't let you in, and show you my way I'd rather lie here in the darkness Cause you don't know what's under my skin Close to my body, close to my heart Like it's always been, under my skin As shadows chase, never to be caught Hoping for the break of dawn Look away, and take me from my flaws And tell me what is going on Buried in smoke and mirrors no one can find These little pieces I've tried to leave behind If I showed you all my truth, could you still be mine? Would you still be mine? I just want you near, I want you to stay But if you come too close, my head is afraid I won't let you in, and show you my way I'd rather lie here in the darkness Cause you don't know what's under my skin Close to my body, close to my heart Like it's always been, under my skin Open me up, facing my fears, show me what love is Build me back up, feed on my tears, show me what trust is It's in your eyes, I know you care, how hard being tough is How hard being loved is I just want you near, I want you to stay But if you come too close, my head is afraid I won't let you in, and show you my way I'd rather lie here in the darkness Cause you don't know what's under my skin Close to my body, close to my heart Like it's always been, under my skin Close to my body, close to my heart Like it's always been, under my skin
