It's only skin

It's only skin when you leave the one you love behind
It's only skin when you're burning your skin at night
Alone is what seems best
But in the coldness of dreams, Your room is your demise.

It's only skin when the one you love cheats on you
That he touches her the same way you touched her.
And knowing this, being alone seems best
But in the heat of a nightmare, Your room is your horrible reality.

It's only skin when you die
And nothing more
Remembered as a friend and lover that was
Skin has seen it all.
