Onion Skin Lyrics

Onion skin

Tears in my eyes

Onion skin

Are you surprised?

After all this, all night

It's so easy for you

To spread your wings and fly.



I'm where you been

So don't look back

Onion skin

It's a sudden attack

You know how sensitive I am

To these kinds of things

The stinging makes me cry.



It's like my skin's an onion skin

Easy to break, paper thin

The littlest things go right in

To my onion skin.



So when the tears begin

They're just watery lies

Onion skin

That's the reason why

As you peel the layers and approach the heart

I search in vain

For a glisten in your eye.
