the skin

 


When the darkness surounds you
when the tears rapidly fall
I reached for you
but found nothing at all
the sorrow inside me 
is killing my soul
the madness outside
makes me want toend it all
there aren't any words that i can say
to make this pain go away
i wasn't ever gonna be enough 
why do i reach for the stars
when i never get that far
I guess i love you 
just wasn't enough
i wish that i could change
the skin God gave
truth is never clear
but i choose it over my fears
still when i speak my mind
i'm hushed and pushed aside
i could scream outloud in a crowd
And no one would respond
unimportant me has forgetten 
That i go unseen
I've  gave my best
i've lost it all
Been thru hell alone
I love him so
and let him go...
he's safer not by my side.
why do i reach for the stars
when i never get that far
I guess i love you 
just wasn't enough
i wish that i could change
the skin God gave
maybe one day-
someday- black won't be a sin
