lyrics

He said: “One day you’re going to run out of skin,
And then no one will be around.
Yeah, one day you’re going to run out of skin,
And then no one will stick around.”

Do you ever wish you could
work as hard as you cry?
Do you ever wish you could
laugh as much as you lie?
Do you ever feel it all:
mad and sad and free?
Do you ever wish you were
as happy as you are lonely?

She said: “One day maybe I will kick this thing,
But nothing is forever so don’t expect anything.
Yeah, one day maybe you will understand
When you lose both your parents
and your kids and your man.”

Do you ever wish you could
work as hard as you cry?
Do you ever wish you could
laugh as much as you lie?
Do you ever feel it all:
mad and sad and free?
Do you ever wish you were
as happy as you are lonely?

Yeah one day I might run out
Of skin and then no one will be around
Yeah one day I might run out
Of skin and then who’s gunna stick around?
