英文乡村歌曲：Eli Young Band - Skeletons

'Cross my arm is that old ink stain
God, I wish I could erase¹ that name
Reminds me that I'm the one to blame
I used to think that rules were made for breaking
Now I question every road I've taken
And I regret every heart I've forsaken²
Here's my confession³

The mistakes I've made
Are coming back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt⁴ me
You say it's okay, you say you still want me
But you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins
I've got skeletons, I've got skeletons

You tell me how a man can be forgiven
Start clean on the life he's living
How do you run from a demon⁵?
I've tried every single thing I know
It just won't let me go
I'm tired of walking down the same damn road
Towing this load

The mistakes I've made
Are coming back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me
You say it's okay, you say you still want me
But you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins
I've got skeletons, I've got skeletons

The mistakes I've made
Are coming back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me
You say it's okay, you say you still want me
But you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins

You say you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins
I've got skeletons, I've got skeletons
I've got skeletons, yeah, I've got skeletons
