IN YOUR OWN SKIN

You know you mean the world to me? With all your colours and mysteries
Don’t you know that you’re the reason why
I threw the sun into the sky
I can’t stand to watch you fall, when you were made to stand up tall
I know that you’ve been losing sight so let me be your eyes tonight

When there’s no one else left to call
When there’s no one else left to listen
I will be waiting for you

You’ll be safe in these arms
You’ll be at home in these arms
And it wont be long till you find your song
You find your stride you’ll be brimming with pride
And I promise you a new day will begin
You’ll be comfortable in your skin

You’ve been failed you’ve been ignored
They’ve thrown your case right over board
On your own losing the fight
Just let me be your fists tonight
Round and round the repetition
Breaks your coping mechanisms
I don’t want to see you lose your voice for something that was not your choice

You’ll be safe in these arms
You’ll be at home in these arms
And it wont be long till you find your song
You find your stride you’ll be brimming with pride
And I promise you a new day will begin
You’ll be comfortable in your skin
And it’s ok for you to feel this way
Its ok I will not walk away
Because I promise you
A new day will begin
You’ll be comfortable
In your own skin.
