Thick Skin (Acoustic)

Thanks to nights that dad went driving

While mom slept off her pills

And the demons in my sister

Made her say goodbye for real

And those months I slept inside my car somewhere west LA

When my first love called to tell me

I'm the whore that got away

Well guess what babe? It barely cut the grain

'Cause I got this thick skin

Years in the making

Dare you to try me

Babe, I can take it

Send in the big guns

I'll leave 'em shaking

I dare you try

Been locked inside a rollercoaster

Been imprisoned by my fears

By some dude who hasn't had a single hit in thirty years

Barely climbed out of a nightmare

I'm not ready for the grave

A lesser man would be so bitter

But it only made me brave

Well now it's worth the price you had me pay

'Cause I got this thick skin

Years in the making

Dare you to try me

Babe, I can take it

Send in the big guns

I'll leave 'em shaking

I dare you try

I got this thick skin

It's on my sleeve

I got this skin

(It's just for me)

I got this thick skin

Years in the making

Dare you to try me

Babe, I can take it

Send in the big guns

I'll leave 'em shaking

I dare you try

I got this thick skin

It's on my sleeve

I got this skin

(It's just for me)
