Ellie Goulding - Salt Skin lyrics

You're as sharp as a knife and
You fit like a glove that is no way to live
That is no way to love
Full of fear in your skin and
The weakness is giving in

You're stabbed in the back
But, you feel no pain
Push the heaviest doors that you can't open
Yeah they tied me up and
My body lies still again

You're as bright as the sun and
As calm as the moon
I don't know when you'll break
But, it's going to be soon
If my will caves in
I'll be in the same boat as you

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
Just to understand "the meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth
Unless you want me to
For all of the time that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor
And I found it again but when it came back
No, I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
Just to understand "the meaning of"

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created

Just to understand i've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
Just to understand "the meaning of"
