[Intro] I hear the room breathe when I don’t I feel your ghost move under my skin [Verse 1] I kept your name where the light can’t go Soft on my tongue heavy in my throat I tried to leave but the silence stayed Every little scar still knows your shape [Pre-Chorus] And I know this is not clean not safe not right But my heart doesn’t ask for permission at night [Chorus] You are under my skin in the blood, in the break In the dark where I bend in the breath that I take I don’t know how to win I don’t know how to run But I burn through the cold like a black little sun You are under my skin and I hate that it’s true Every piece of my pain still remembers you [Verse 2] I wear the calm like a borrowed face Smile through the ache move through the days Nobody sees what the night becomes Hands on my chest heart like a drum [Bridge] Maybe I needed the ache Maybe I needed the fall Maybe the ice on my heart wasn’t death after all Maybe it kept me alive Maybe it taught me to feel Maybe the wound was the door to something finally real [Final Chorus] You are under my skin but I’m not yours to break I can bleed, I can burn I can still find my way I don’t need you to leave I don’t need you to stay I can carry the cold till it melts into flame You are under my skin but I’m stronger than you Every piece of my pain turned into something true [Outro] Under my skin but not in control Under my skin but I own my soul I feel the ice melt I feel the warmth rise I am still here I am still mine
