Q&A
A Skeleton on Display Lyrics
Walking off alone
with your back to the one you said you loved.
Stepping out of skin we grew together
in as never-ending
but you ended it
Unprepared for the hardened coldness
I could not detect it in your eyes
And every moment that I had to give
was dedicated by your side
Of all the nights we held each other, dear
never did I dream your grip would end
And your breath against my neck, I fear
was my only reason for breathing
I will always miss you.
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you.
I will always miss you
I will always
According to the facts so casually you lay before me, off your interest died.
I'm nodding with your head just to agree
and going against what I know in mine.
I need a promise not a prediction
on when this well resolve, okay
If it is never then at least I know
I'll go without my dignity and say:
I will always miss you.
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I am a skeleton on display
with your back to the one you said you loved.
Stepping out of skin we grew together
in as never-ending
but you ended it
I could not detect it in your eyes
And every moment that I had to give
was dedicated by your side
Of all the nights we held each other, dear
never did I dream your grip would end
And your breath against my neck, I fear
was my only reason for breathing
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you.
I will always miss you
I will always
I'm nodding with your head just to agree
and going against what I know in mine.
I need a promise not a prediction
on when this well resolve, okay
If it is never then at least I know
I'll go without my dignity and say:
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I will always miss you
I will always
I will always miss you
I am a skeleton on display

Dear song, i love you so much.
This song is such an honest and heartbreaking view on a breakup. I saw Now it's Overhead opening for Bright Eyes and just started listening to them. I hope their other songs live up to this one.
Am I the only one that gets chills when he says "I am a skeleton on display"
so painful this song... so realistic.. his voice sounds fragile... aw.
it's a wonderful song merely for the "I'll go without my dignity and say I will always miss you." it shows someone that is thinking! who actually is going to heal!
and this "I'm nodding with your head just to agree and going against what I know in mine because who hasn't?
"Of all the nights we held each other dear, Never did I dream your grip would end. And your breath against my neck I fear was my only reason for breathing."
This is pure magic.
This song remains my favourite year after year... it still chokes me up.

This song is so amazing.
I suffered a horrible break up years ago, and after listening to this song it brought everything back. I both love and hate this song for that. The song is an experience in itself.
