Brother & Bones - Skin and Bone

Well I know I’m just another slave
To finding all the ways to make things right
But when I saw you walking to your grave it hurt to see nobody by your side
Leave yourself some room to breath
You’re far too young to be so old before your time

Skin and bone
Sticks and stones
I should have known
It ain’t no bed of roses

I saw it written in your skin
The friends you’ve made just ain’t the ones you’ve lost
And all the circles that you’re moving in
Lead you back to all the bridges crossed

Through all the smoke and mirrors
All the lonely hearts
And all the coins you’ve tossed

Skin and bone
Sticks and stones
I should have known
It ain’t no bed of roses

I watched you run
But I can feel you falling
So don’t apologise to me
Because sorry won’t save you

I saw the cracks before the wall
That you built on your own
I should have known

Skin and bone
Sticks and stones
I should have known
It ain’t no bed of roses
