Chicken Skin

(Verse 1) Cracked pavement, city glows Streetlights bleed on window sills Used to walk you home from shows Now just echoes, bitter pills (Chorus) It wasn't the money, wasn't the lies Wasn't the secrets in your eyes It was the chicken skin, the crispy prize Stolen moments, hidden alibis (Verse 2) Remember diner nights, cheap wine Sharing secrets in the smoke Now all I taste is ash and brine Another promise that you broke (Chorus) It wasn't the money, wasn't the lies Wasn't the secrets in your eyes It was the chicken skin, the crispy prize Stolen moments, hidden alibis (Bridge) Maybe it's petty, maybe I'm weak But trust is golden, fragile and deep You devoured it all, couldn't hear me speak Now I'm left with nothing but a bitter sleep (Chorus) It wasn't the money, wasn't the lies Wasn't the secrets in your eyes It was the chicken skin, the crispy prize Stolen moments, hidden alibis (Outro) Chicken skin, chicken skin The reason our love began to thin Just chicken skin, chicken skin Now where do I begin again?
