Burning Skin
Gigi Perez

Verse 1:
Every day it feels like walking on glass,
Where did the warmth go, did it fade too fast?
You used to be my guide, now you're my cage,
Your words cut deep, like I'm trapped in a rage.

Chorus:
Why are you tightening the reins, oh can't you see?
You're pushing me away, it's not setting me free.
When I ask if I can reach your skies so high,
It's like fire igniting, I just burn inside.

Verse 2:
I try to explain, but you turn away,
Every critique feels like a price I must pay.
You say it's for my own good, but I just can't agree,
Feels like I'm drowning, consumed by the sea.

Chorus:
Why are you tightening the reins, oh can't you see?
You're pushing me away, it's not setting me free.
When I ask if I can reach your skies so high,
It's like fire igniting, I just burn inside.

Bridge:
These standards you set, they feel far too steep,
I’m losing myself, it’s a promise I can’t keep.
I'm craving the days when it felt so right,
Now I'm lost in the shadows, searching for light.

Chorus:
Why are you tightening the reins, oh can't you see?
You're pushing me away, it's not setting me free.
When I ask if I can reach your skies so high,
It's like fire igniting, I just burn inside.

Outro:
So hear me now, let’s take a step back,
I need understanding, not another attack.
Together we can find some grace in the fight,
Before we burn bridges, let's make it right.
