Tattooed
Darren Hayes · Other Songs - Darren Hayes
Am I bound to you?
Will you wither with the rest?
Will you loosen your grip?
As you fade into the sunset?
Will I want to leave you
Shattered on the floor?
Will I do anything to
Have you forever more?
I really miss you
I didn't want to
now it's too late...
chorus:
You're tattooed on my skin
Don't know where you end and I begin
You're tattooed on my soul
Are you the part that makes me whole?
The uncertainty keeps me on my toes
I'm so undone by what I never know
Even you're confusions make sense to me
But I'm afraid that this won't always be....
I really need you
Want to believe
That you need me too...
chorus
I fall hard and I fall fast
know it won't last
I should leave before it's gone
but I'm not that strong...
chorus
