Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night
No point in turning off the lights
Not the same without your head on my shoulders
Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older
Almost like we left it all on read
Couple feelings never laid to rest
Didn't know that the party was over
And it's true that I need you here closer
[Pre-Chorus]
Burning photos
Had to learn to let go
I used to be
Somebody in another skin (Another skin)
[Chorus]
I heard that you're happy without me
And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true)
It kills me a little, that's okay
'Cause I'd die for you
You know I'd still die for you
[Verse 2]
I hopе you're getting evеrything you needed
Found the puzzle piece and feel completed
Just wanted you to know every reason
Hope you really know that I mean that
I couldn't see the forest from the trees
Only time we speak (Only time we speak)
Is in my dreams
Burning photos
Had to learn to let go
I used to be
Somebody in another skin (Another skin)
[Chorus]
I heard that you're happy without me
And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true)
It kills me a little, that's okay
'Cause I'd die for you
You know I'd still die for you
