Skeleton Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What did you just say?
No, I heard you right the first time
I heard you right the first time
Are you trying to hurt me?
You know you're supposed to lie
When the truth is so unkind

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like I’m looking right through you

[Chorus]
There’s nothing on your skeleton
Your heart is gone
You’re acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
The way it works
The rush of blood
You gave it all up
You're acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter

[Verse 2]
I’m not gonna fight you
’Cause I don’t wanna win
And live through this again
I’m not gonna love you
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like I’m looking right through you

[Chorus]
There’s nothing on your skeleton
Your heart is gone
You’re acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
The way it works
The rush of blood
You gave it all up
You're acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter

[Bridge]
Where will you go?
Who will you be?
Who will you hurt? (Doesn’t even matter)
Up in the clouds
You're gonna fall
Down in the dirt (doesn't even matter)
Take what you want
Take it from me
Give it to her (doesn’t even matter)
There's nothing of us
Nothing at all
It’s not gonna work
I’m not gonna love you, ooh
[Chorus]
Nothing on your skeleton
Your heart is gone
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
The way it works
The rush of blood
You gave it all up
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter

[Outro]
There’s nothing on your skeleton
My heart is gone
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter
The way it works
The rush of blood
You gave it all up
Acting like it doesn’t even matter
Like I don’t even matter

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
