Safer Skin

Your words lingered on my lips like
 Your breath when in the cold
 You captured me in smoke tendrils and
 Stories that you told
 It's so unlike you to bring back these memories of old
 I thought to keep you safer here to some fault of my own
 ♪
 You are the wind in tall grass
 The lighting shift in hours passed
 Some bones are meant to crack
 Stuck in the shadows you cast
 (In the shadows you cast)
 ♪
 Rough around the edges from cutting every corner thin
 And so I became dull to try and give you safer skin
 I swore I wouldn't feel a thing
 And I swear I never did
 I let myself fall out
 I know that there's a way back in
 There always is
 There always is
 Quantity is quality when days are wearing thin
 Nothing's ever up to me
 I just keep breathing in
 And if you'd save a spot for me
 I'd tell you everything
 Anything you want to be
 But never what you think (yeah)
