Under My Skin by Elliot Jye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It lives under my skin
Stories end and it's still there
I go home, it’s in my bed

[Verse 2]
It lives under my skin
I've gotten used to this despair
I feel like I'm losing myself

[Chorus]
I’m okay, that's what I've been saying
But deep down I'm just pretending
I can see the way I'm shutting down

And my voice became so quiet
While I'm standing in the fire
Given up on hope that it may change

Felt the lust for life
Leave these now empty eyes
Looking for a feeling again, again
[Verse 3]
It lives under my skin
Along with the things I thought I let go
Why can't I ever seem to move on?

[Verse 4]
It lives under my skin
The way I've never been enough
How I don’t let myself fall in love

[Chorus]
I’m okay, that's what I’ve been saying
But deep down I'm just pretending
I can see the way I'm shutting down

And my voice became so quiet
While I'm standing in the fire
Given up on hope that it may change

Felt the lust for life
Leave these now empty eyes
Looking for a feeling again

[Bridge]
I’ve been holding my breath
I'm wilting again
I didn't know I could get this low
It lives under my skin
The power you have over me
Still rings true, I can't believe

[Chorus]
I'm okay, that's what I've been saying
But deep down I'm just pretending
I can see the way I'm shutting down

And my voice became so quiet
While I'm standing in the fire
Given up on hope that it may change

Felt the lust for life
Leave these now empty eyes
Looking for a feeling again, oh

[Chorus]
I'm okay, that's what I've been saying
But deep down I'm just pretending
I can see the way I'm shutting down

And my voice became so quiet
While I'm standing in the fire
Given up on hope that it may change
Felt the lust for life
Leave these now empty eyes
Looking for a feeling again, again
