Skin (Rag 'n' Bone Man Cover) - Slza Lyrics

When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you

Seconds from my heart
A bullet from the dark
Helpless, I surrender
Shackled by your love
Holding me like this
Poison on your lips
Only when it's over
Silence it's so hard

'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love

When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you

When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love

It was almost love, it was almost love
We bleed ourselves in vain
How tragic is this game
Turn around, you're holding on to someone
But your love is gone
Carrying the load, wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we nearly fell so far now

It's hard to tell
And we came so close, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love

When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you

When I run out of air to breathe
There your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you
About you

While I reached out for your hand
When the walls were caving in
Oh, I see you on the other side
We can try all over again

When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath turns cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you

When I run out of air to breathe
There your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you

'Cause it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
