Skin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I found out this love's undone
I was like a gun
Sure as it was over
Felt like nothing good could come

[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as it's gonna play and play
Like Michael back in the day
I'm gonna peel you away

[Chorus]
Now as I begin
To wash you off my skin
I'm gonna peel you away
'Cause you're not right within

[Verse 2]
I love you so
Sometimes love has to let go
So this time don't think it's a lie
I say goodbye

[Chorus]
Now as I begin
To wash you off my skin
I'm gonna peel you away
'Cause you're not right within
[Outro]
Now it's time
To wash you off my skin
Now as I begin
It couldn't be right 'cause you're not right within
I say goodbye

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 [?]
