[Verse 1] I've got more complaints More than pleasantries to say Every monument is idly arranged Every figure that has ever held importance in my life I find nobody is who I pictured them to be [Pre-Chorus] My hands are numb because [Chorus 1] It's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide [Verse 2] I see the faces in reflections of the past I feel so close but I can't reach through the gla** My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette I'm nothing like they pictured me to be [Pre-Chorus] My hands are numb because [Chorus 2] It's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt If only your skin were thinner I wouldn't feel the need to hide [Bridge] I see the light in your life Turn the blind eye (Turn the blind eye) "Why are you hurting me?" She screamed from her d**h bed Look at me, I'm trying to say I haven't been slipping away Look at me, I'm trying to say I haven't been slipping away I'm nothing like they pictured me to be [Chorus 2] It's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt If only your skin were thinner I wouldn't feel the need to hide
