[Verse 1] He strolled in smooth, like a summer breeze, A charm so sharp, it could cut through trees. He never mentioned, not a single clue, That his heart had a tenant, and it wasn’t new. [Prechorus] He vanished like smoke, a magician’s feat, Left me cold, stranded on this empty street. [Chorus] I’m the skeleton in the closet, didn’t want to be, Locked in his shadow, no room to breathe free. He swore he was spotless, oh, the lies he spun, But I’m the skeleton, and I’m not the only one. [Verse 2] I saw his face in the paper one day, Smiling wide in that slick cliché. He bragged of no secrets, no shadows, no shame, But I knew the truth behind his little game. [Prechorus] It stung like a needle, a cruel reprise, But I won’t be a ghost in his alibis. [Chorus] I’m not the skeleton any more, never want to be, Not in his shadow, now room to breathe free. I'm not the skeleton, never to be one. I can love myself now, oh, that is awesome.
