[Verse 1]

I drift away to a place, another kind of life

Take away the pain, I create my paradise

Everything I've held has hit the wall

What used to be yours isn't yours at all


[Pre-Chorus]

Falling apart, and all that I'm asking

Is it a crime? Am I overreacting?


[Chorus]

Oh, he's under my skin

Just give me something to get rid of him

I've got a reason now to bury this alive

Another little white lie


[Verse 2]

So what you had didn't fit among the pretty things

Never fear, never fear, I know now where you've been

Braids have been un-tied, ribbons fall away

Leave the consequence, my tears you'll taste


[Pre-Chorus]

Falling apart and all that I question

Is this a dream or is this my lesson?


[Chorus]

Oh, he's under my skin

Just give me something to get rid of him

I've got a reason now to bury this alive

Another little white lie


[Bridge]

I don't believe I'll be all right

I don't believe I'll be ok

I don't believe how you throw me away

I do believe you didn't try

I do blame you for every lie

When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine


[Chorus]

Oh, he's under my skin

Just give me something to get rid of him

I've got a reason now to bury this alive

Another little white lie


[Outro]

Oh, my permission to sin

You might have started my reckoning

I've got a reason now to bury him alive

Another little white lie
