Skinny Lies lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're chasing shadows in the sky with all the vampires
Biting into all the stars still left alive
Lips of velvet but your tongue is like a chainsaw (Chainsaw)

[Pre-Chorus]
What is left to say
That I haven't said?

[Chorus]
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies

[Verse 2]
Do you really wanna get what you wish for?
Did you forget that we're all human after all
Don't look at me and lick your teeth like I'm your savior

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, just bite down

[Chorus]
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies
[Bridge]
It's like you never knew me
Or maybe I don't know myself
And when you look right through me
All you'll find are skinny lies

[Verse 3]
Look at what we've done
Threw our secrets out into the sun
There ain't no time
Just you and I and skinny lies

[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Chorus]
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies
If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know
But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone
I wanna go back to what it was before
Just you and I and skinny lies

[Outro]
It's like you never knew me
Or maybe I don't know myself
And when you look right through me
All you'll find are skinny lies
