Skin Don’t Lie [Intro] Streetlight breathing through the blinds at four Phone on your name, still face-down on the floor We learned to text what we’re scared to say Two hearts online, but our hands away [Verse 1] I read somewhere the body keeps the score Every missed touch adds weight to the door You laugh in pixels, I smile on cue But my shoulders tense when I think of you Coffee goes cold, so does my resolve We scroll for comfort we can’t dissolve Skin’s a language we never translate Now silence speaks in an empty space [Pre-Chorus] They say the nervous system needs proof A steady hand, a living truth If love’s a fire, we starve the flame With all these reasons, none the same [Chorus] I’m touch-starved in a crowded room Your ghost on me like cheap perfume Say “I miss you” through glass and wires But skin don’t lie, it still requires A pulse, a press, a real-time sign Skin don’t lie, and neither do I [Verse 2] We learned the science without the shame Oxytocin spelled in a different name It’s not weakness, it’s how we’re made Connection fades when contact’s delayed You hold the night on a different coast I hold my breath with a half-loved hope If absence teaches, here’s the test How long can hunger call itself rest? [Pre-Chorus] I know the mind can rationalize But the body keeps asking why If love’s a fire, we starve the flame With all these reasons, none the same [Chorus] I’m touch-starved in a crowded room Your ghost on me like cheap perfume Say “I miss you” through glass and wires But skin don’t lie, it still requires A pulse, a press, a real-time sign Skin don’t lie, and neither do I [Bridge 1] Not asking for forever tonight Just a shoulder that fits me right Education in the simplest way Hold me once, let the doubt decay [Verse 3] So when I see you, no grand display Just let your fingers learn my day We’ll unlearn distance, inch by inch No metaphors, no safety pinch If love’s a lesson, start with touch The smallest truth can teach the most I don’t need perfect, I need present A living answer, warm and honest [Chorus] I’m touch-starved in a crowded room Your ghost on me like cheap perfume Say “I miss you” through glass and wires But skin don’t lie, it still requires A pulse, a press, a real-time sign Skin don’t lie, and neither do I [Bridge 2] Turn the theory into practice now Heartbeats sync when we allow No more starving what keeps us alive Come closer, skin don’t lie [Chorus] I’m touch-starved in a crowded room Your ghost on me like cheap perfume Say “I miss you” through glass and wires But skin don’t lie, it still requires A pulse, a press, a real-time sign Skin don’t lie, and neither do I [Chorus] I’m touch-starved, hear it in my tone Every nerve wants to feel like home No more distance dressed as time Skin don’t lie, skin don’t lie [Outro] So if you love me, show me how No captions, just your hands, right now We heal the hunger, no alibi Skin don’t lie. Loop “Touch-starved in a crowded room Skin don’t lie, it still requires A pulse, a press, a real-time sign Skin don’t lie, and neither do I”
