Say Anything - Nudity

And they don't see
That my smile is thin
And it's peeling off
Inch by inch
When it goes
My whole disguise
Will slither off
Before your eyes
And I'll stand nude
My eyes roll out
Reveal my skull
A cave of doubt
My surgeries done
You gave the knife
I need you here to save my life
So please stay in tonight
Pull the soul from my eyes and say goodnight
Just stay at home strip me down to the bone
I can't be alone
And they don't see the nagging stress
That beats and beats inside my chest
And kiss my heart
To keep it safe
Where no one else can make it break
And all the schools they sent me to
The upper class ants march two by two
A 4.0 for each brave boy
Well I won't fuck with them anymore
And the days go by
I still believe
There is someone who
Can comfort me
And the days go by
