To watch out for you
To watch out for you
Chorus:
  G#Every time you almost died

I wear them all for you
Your skin is such a nicer tissue

I’m a fake, I’m a fake
And I’ve been found out
(Repeat Chorus)

To hold you

With wandering eyes

It’s so hard

I chased your soul to the sky

And brought it back to you

Every cut that didn’t scar

I wear them all for you

Your skin is such a nicer tissue

And I’ve been found out
