Skin lyrics

When I found out this love's undone

Sure as it was over
Felt like nothing good could come
Sure as it's gonna play and play

To wash you off my skin
I'm gonna peel you away
'Cause you're not right within
Now it's time
To wash you off my skin
Now as I begin
It couldn't be right
'Cause you're not right within, mmh
I say goodbye
