Skeletons

You're so good at being noticed
 When there's no one around
 Skeletons hangin' in your closet
 But they won't make a sound
 Bathed in self-preservation
 Like you're runnin' on fumes
 Your back has all of my attention
 I'm here for you
 Open, open, let them hit the floor
 Hard to make a little room for more
 You cross your fingers when you lie
 You still can't look me in the eyes though
 Hiding trouble with a smile
 I know you better than your shadow
 You keep telling me you're fine
 Why we gotta do this every time?
 You cross your fingers when you lie
 I know you better than your shadow
 They're not puttin' on a show now
 While you're cuttin' your hair
 Years from now, there'll be a fallout
 Hold me back if I care
 Tough love never had a balance
 Soft enough so you stay
 I'm a long-lost messenger for parents
 That want to change
 Would a little sadden every bone?
 So maybe one day you can say you don't
 You cross your fingers when you lie
 You still can't look me in the eyes though
 Hiding trouble with a smile
 I know you better than your shadow
 You keep telling me you're fine
 Why we gotta do this every time?
 You cross your fingers when you lie
 I know you better than your shadow
