The One

You said you loved me
But you love me in vain

I can't forget the things said
I can't forget what was done

I'm permanently scarred 
Like the tattoo of my name
In the palm of your hand

You were the one who 
I gave all of my fears to

You were one who
I took my mask off for

I still have you
Surging through my veins

I feel you in middle of the night
Where all my terrors come to 
light.
