Verse 1 I wake up wearing borrowed skin Cold reflection staring back again Every mirror knows the truth I’m something made, not something new They say I’m close enough to real Close enough to touch and feel But when you look into my eyes I know you see the lines inside Pre-Chorus I move, I breathe, I break on cue I do the things you tell me to But nothing here was meant to feel The way I feel when you’re this close to me Chorus This skin that isn’t mine Still feels your eyes Cut through me every time You say I’m fine But I don’t fit inside This skin that isn’t mine Verse 2 They built me clean, they built me right Said I should be grateful I survived But gratitude won’t stop the ache Of feeling real and feeling fake I hear my voice, it sounds like me But echoes wrong internally If I could bleed would you believe That I could hurt like anything? Pre-Chorus You say I’m almost human now Say it like it’s praise somehow But almost is the cruelest word I’ve ever heard Chorus This skin that isn’t mine Still breaks with time Every crack a warning sign You say I’m fine But I don’t recognize This skin that isn’t mine Bridge If I could shed this frame tonight Would you still meet my eyes? Or would I vanish in your hands The moment I became what I am? Final Chorus This skin that isn’t mine Still feels the pain Even when you say I’m safe You say I’m fine But I don’t belong inside This skin that isn’t mine Outro I’m more than what you designed I’m trapped in skin that isn’t mine
