Lyrics

Under Your Skin
Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music

Keep your head down, hide inside
Cuz if you don’t they might just find
The sadness that is lurking
Under your skin

Go outside into the rain
To hide the tears upon your face
So they don’t see the fear
That’s hiding within

It’s under your skin, it’s under your skin Your thoughts are the poison keeping it in It’s under your skin
It’s under your skin

You hide behind a painted smile
It keeps you safe all the while
So they can’t see the pain
That’s hiding within

You laugh though you just want to cry Sometimes not knowing the reason why The fear has gotten so deep
Under your skin

Nobody ever told you that
it’d be so hard inside your head
You’re fighting your demons and
feeling this dread

It’s under your skin, it’s under your skin Your thoughts hold the power,
the fire within It’s under your skin
It’s under your skin

And then one day she saw the tears
She wipes them gone with all your fears She held you tight, so you knew
You weren’t alone

Now what’s underneath your skin
Is the strength you knew you had within You’re not alone
You never were
Your head held high
And your heart intact
And knowing someone’s got your back There’s nothing left but hope
Under your skin
