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.......
