lirik lagu charlotte chung - skin
[intro]
(there’s always been something wrong
always, just as long as i can remember
but i never knew what it was until all this happened
oh, i lie in bed night after night praying that it isn’t true
but i know about it now
it’s there)
[verse 1]
last night, hit a new low
days play like a puppet show
ride high ’til the curtains close
then i’m a child in a man’s clothes
you bet i waited to grow into them
drowned in cheap perfume to mask the sweat
tonight i’ve realised it’s purposeless
like mending broken glass with bandagеs
[pre~chorus 1]
don’t you know the way it burns
speaking in thesе twisted tongues you know i never learned?
think i’m over how it hurts
know i’d best be goin’ my way, but i wish this weren’t how i were
[chorus 1]
show me how to shed this skin
teach me how to switch the wind’s direction
‘cause seasons change, but the feeling stays the same
tell me now, for me, is there no fixing?
[verse 2]
but i keep walking down gilles road
‘cause if i never see, i’ll never know
and when i’ve rinsed my face and hung my clothes
for a moment i’m free enough to let go
and i believe somebody waits for me out there until i don’t
when everybody’s getting boyfriends, married, children
will i still be alone?
[pre~chorus 2]
don’t you know the way it stings
when they assume they know the godd~mn story with only the headline?
i’m so over this whole city
so should i turn back?
forget i loved you like that?
tell me, am i runnin’ out of time?
[chorus 2]
just show me how to shed this skin
teach me how to switch the wind’s direction
promised one more month, but the feeling hasn’t gone
tell me now, for me, is there no fixing?
[post~chorus 1]
(just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
every day plays like a puppet show)
for me is there no fixing?
(just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
every day plays like a puppet show)
tell me now, for me, is there no fixing?
[bridge]
sometimes i wonder what i did
what mistakes did i make for me to turn out like this?
but maybe it’s just in my nature
and this life is destined to be mine no matter my behaviour
maybe someday i’ll be changing
like a fl!ck of a switch and i won’t be fakin’ ’til i make it
maybe when i fall, you’ll still love me the same
but why’ve i gotta test it out in the first place?
[chorus 3]
show me how to shed this skin
teach me how to switch the wind’s direction
‘cause seasons change, but the feeling stays the same
tell me now, for me, is there no fixing?
[post~chorus 2]
sometimes i wonder what i did
what mistakes did i make for me to turn out like this?
(just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
every day plays like a puppet show)
for me, is there no fixing?
hope someday the world’ll be changing
so when tomorrow opens her eyes
she won’t have to fake it ’til she makes it
(just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
just a child in a man’s clothes
every day plays like a puppet show)
tell me now, for me, is there no fixing?
[outro]
(i don’t know how
i don’t know why
but i did love you)
for me is there is no fixing?
mm~mm
(i couldn’t call it by name before but
maybe it’s been there since i first knew you
i’ve never felt that way about anybody but you
maybe it’s that?)
