Outer Skin

---Outer Skin---

Look at the outer skin
so perfect and flawless
Look in, inside the skin
so shallow and heartless.

You like it when boys stare
You like when they want your number too.
You like when they become your slaves.
And you laugh when you break their hearts in two.

You’ve got looks that could kill,
and that they do...
They kill the very soul in you.

When you’re out with your friends
You feel like life could not be better
But the feeling won’t last
When you get home
All you’ll feel is empty.

Some nights you cry yourself to sleep
Or you lie in bed, staring at the wall.
“I’ve got it all!”, you say to yourself.
“Good looks, a million friends,
Why do I feel so bad when I go to bed?”

You get up a dozen times at night
To look in the mirror.

Look at the outer skin,
So perfect and flawless,
Look in, inside the skin,
So shallow and heartless.

Look at the outer skin,
Perfect and flawless
Look in, inside the skin
Shallow and heartless

You’ve got looks that could kill,
And that they do...
They kill the very soul in you.
