Exoskeleton lyrics
by Katie Gavin
[Verse 1]
Guess I'll start to add these layers one by one
And I guess it'd be smart to hide these scars from the truth and the sun
[Chorus]
So please don't touch me I might break and
Please don't touch me I might take my time with you
I've grown an exoskeleton
I will not let you in
'Cause these bones are far too strong to be broken by the reasons why we belong
Doo doo doo-doo doo
[Verse 2]
Guess it's true that I got to risk my heart for the possibility and
I guess it'd be new if all I fear is all we could be so please
[Chorus]
Don't touch me I might break
Please don't touch me, I might take my time with you
I've grown an exoskeleton
I will not let you in
‘Cause these bones are far too strong to be broken by the reasons why we belong
[Bridge]
It's compensation for what is plain
I've locked myself in a beautiful cage
Pray that you won't see beneath these bars of gold and ivory
I've no beat for you
I exhale expectations
Don't express no explanation
What is out must go in
What might stop cannot begin
[Chorus]
I've grown an exoskeleton I will not let you in
‘Cause these bones are far too strong to be broken by reasons why
[Outro]
It's compensation for what is plain
I've locked myself in a beautiful cage
