[Verse 1]
I weigh my hands in the mirror
Like they belong to you
Pinch every inch for answers
Nothing I do comes through
I pull my shirt like armor
It clings in all the wrong ways
And I hate the shape I wake in
More than I say
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the seams, count the flaws
Count the ways I fall apart
You say "be kind" like it helps
When the voice inside is hard
[Chorus]
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
Every glance feels like a bruise
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
But I’m still here, coming loose
(coming loose)
[Verse 2]
Bathroom tile, harsh and white
Tells me everything I miss
I can see a thousand reasons
Why I talk to myself like this
I try on hope like dresses
Never wear it right
And every bite, every promise
Turns to doubt at night
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the seams, count the flaws
Count the ways I fall apart
You say "be kind" like it helps
When the voice inside is hard
[Chorus]
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
Every glance feels like a bruise
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
But I’m still here, coming loose
(coming loose)
[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t need a blade
Maybe I need a hand
Maybe I’m not a mistake
Just a storm I don’t understand
Say my name like it’s mine
Say it soft and say it true
If I can’t love what I see
Let me learn from you
[Final Chorus]
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
Every glance feels like a bruise
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
But I’m still here, coming loose
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
Let the dark pass over me
I want out of this skin
I want out of this skin
Till I learn to let me be
(let me be)
