Tattoos

[Verse 1]
You're stuck under my skin like a tattoo
But I don't think I want to be rid of you
I'll keep it there, a permanent reminder
Of how we both used to be kinder

Every inch of my skin is full of dark ink
Maybe I'm still waiting for it to sink in
That we're nothing more than memories
Like the paintings in rich men's galleries

I've got flowers and stars
Use them to bury all the scars
The same ones you left on my heart
When you chose to leave me in the dark

I try to hide the marks you left on my skin
With all these words and flying dragons
But I still see each mark you carved
On the rotten, cold remains of my heart
