A lover that find's a way back into your life in any form he or she can.
And just like that,
your words slip under my skin.
Like a tattoo hidden under layer's of flesh.
Imprinting loves shadow on my heart.

You seem to go deeper and deeper everytime that you do.
And, as if trying not to love you wasn't already hard enough,
you want to,
not only stain every surface of my body and mind
but stain every organ as well.
Tainting me further, until I'm ruined for anyone else.

I guess it's the price I pay.
I guess I have to blame myself as well.
I handed you the most tender, sweetness of my heart.
And kept giving pieces of my soul to you,
ever since the day your eyes swallowed me whole.

So maybe all I should do is lean back and surrender.
Let my heart run away with you.

Even if all your words are just lies.
And all these inner tattoos are really just soon to be scars.
