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.
