Pulling Back the Skin Lyrics
No, I don't want you back
But I don't want you with him
No, I don't love you still
I hate him so, though
Guess I'm off the hook if you're not my victim
Must be something else that's in my skin
I hate it
This doesn't feel like getting well
(I hate him so, though, I hate it)
This doesn't feel like anything good
(I hate him so)
I'm pulling back the skin here
I taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin, yeah, yeah
Begin pulling back the skin
I would like to see you
Only if to see you cry
I would like to kiss you
Only to kiss you goodbye
At best I've bad intentions
And at worst I'd rather die
Than see you with another guy
I'm pulling back the skin here
I taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin, yeah, yeah
I'm pulling back the skin here
I taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin
And in pulling back the skin
I appear to have come undone
But I broke you first
Yeah, I broke you worse
And I appear to be the jealous one
But I broke you first
Am I broken worse
And I remember everything, oh yes
Tears in your eyes, wind in your hair
(I have this dream where I'm bleeding)
Cold in the water, warm in the flow of blood
(We're in your car, I start to panic)
I remember everything, oh yes
(Waves are crashing
Over head, the stars are shining
You left me for dead)
Tears in your eyes, wind in your hair
(Down by the shore)
Cold in the water, warm in the flow of blood
(I told you that I did not love you anymore)
I remember everything, oh yes
(There's tears in your eyes
How I've tried to let you go
The words I said were lies
I did not know)
Get in the car and drive
See if what's mine is mine
See if the dead can rise
I'm washed away
But I don't want you with him
No, I don't love you still
I hate him so, though
Guess I'm off the hook if you're not my victim
Must be something else that's in my skin
I hate it
This doesn't feel like getting well
(I hate him so, though, I hate it)
This doesn't feel like anything good
(I hate him so)
I taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin, yeah, yeah
Begin pulling back the skin
Only if to see you cry
I would like to kiss you
Only to kiss you goodbye
At best I've bad intentions
And at worst I'd rather die
Than see you with another guy
I taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin, yeah, yeah
I taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin
I appear to have come undone
But I broke you first
Yeah, I broke you worse
And I appear to be the jealous one
But I broke you first
Am I broken worse
Tears in your eyes, wind in your hair
(I have this dream where I'm bleeding)
Cold in the water, warm in the flow of blood
(We're in your car, I start to panic)
I remember everything, oh yes
(Waves are crashing
Over head, the stars are shining
You left me for dead)
Tears in your eyes, wind in your hair

I remember everything, oh yes
(There's tears in your eyes
How I've tried to let you go

I did not know)
Get in the car and drive
See if what's mine is mine
See if the dead can rise
I'm washed away

Well, it's obvious what this song is about, since he says it in the very first two lines. What I love about this song is the ability to relate with all the feelings described. Knowing that you can still love someone with wanting to be with them. Being torn between two different and opposite feelings. The perfect example of this is when he says "I would like to kiss you only to kiss you goodbye."
This song always reminds me of Three Days Grace's song, I Hate Everything About You. It's much the same. Hating someone, but still loving them as well.
@Beavnation Actually, I think he still loves her but hates HIM (i.e., the guy she's with).
