Thin Skin

The other day, I took a fall

Running through the airport

Always cutting it too close

No good reason why

Bruised my knees and cut my elbows

Woman stopped and asked if I was fine

Brushed it off like it was nothing

But in the bathroom, I cried

My pride bruises easy

My skin's a little thin

There's nothing I hate more

Than disappointing a lover or a friend

But every time I get ripped open

I reach down deep inside

And pull out something better

They just didn't know how to find

He said to me in Austin

I had something that he liked

Was it the way I went about things

Or the fire in my eyes?

Either way, back in Tennessee

Two-stepping at the bar

I could tell he didn't realize

He had a prize in his arms

My pride bruises easy

My skin's a little thin

You can see right through me

And I'm quick to let you in

Every time I get ripped open

I reach down deep inside

And pull out something better

They just didn't know how to find

I pull out something better

You just didn't know how to find
