Tattooed On My Heart

Honeysuckle can't survive on tear drops And rainbows lose their beauty without rain Heavens sent down angels that still haunt me And tattooed on my heart is your name What seemed so temporary is now forever And I carry you with me all the time But my heart's not the only place that you left your mark You also lay heavy on my mind Tattooed on my heart you'll be forever Yet I'm not sure how you got under my skin It's as though you've taken on a new persona And left me living in what could have been It's funny how you managed to find space When some of my past loves brought me to the brink You've erased all those lesser known little heart aches And instead you used permanent ink Tattooed on my heart you'll be forever And you somehow remain under my skin It's as though you've taken on a new persona And became heart aches evil twin Tattooed on my heart you'll be forever Till the day they put me in the ground The silence and pain of the unknown Speaks volumes without making a sound Tattooed on my heart you'll be forever.......
