step inside my skin

Step inside my skin  
run your fingers over
my loneliness  
and turn it into something new  
I'll pretend I'm not drowning in it  
when the empty side of the bed  
grows cold  
 
We laugh so hard
we turn to puddles on the floor  
and I breathe in every  
gasping breath of you  
between the happy tears  
that remind me I'm human  
that you're human  
that we get to be human together  
 
Step inside my skin  
pretend you're the answer  
to a question no one's asking  
to a question I'll never ask  
because answers aren't needed here  
 
I love it  
I hate it  
I need it (I need it)  
let me run away  
please, let me run away  
I always come back anyway  
 
Step inside my skin  
run your fingers over
my loneliness  
and make love to me  
like I'm worth more than temporary  
 
Step inside my skin
