Beneath My Skin

I remember the nights we talked for too long
Until the stars were the only visible part of the sky
Pulling each other into different worlds
One north of the city, one south of nowhere
You fell for the lies on my lips and the tease on my fingertips
But you didn't bother to see who I was
To see if my words had fact and not fiction
You let me in to toy with your mind, your heart on your sleeve and making it mine
I didn't want to show you the real person you were dealing with
Cause she breaks hearts faster than you can take a deep breath and close your eyes
She'd blanket your hope with fear and drag your heart to its death
And when you discovered her hiding in my skin, you couldn't ever love me the same
You wished you never kissed me, never felt that way about who I was pretending to be
The tears were shed in raindrops on the plains of the coast
And we both wanted my heart to give its last beat and drift to sleep.
