Tattoos that stain and burn my skin
With words and images
Of who I could've been
Should've been
Would've been
If I hadn't met you
Dreams of those happy summer days
With wind to make me fly
To get lost in space
Stuck in a daze
And then I see your face
I was coaxed by the lies of love
And smashed down by my own hand
I gave you all the keys to my secrets
And watched you set them all ablaze
My heart can no longer trust
Song lyrics that taunt and chain me
To all the wonderful times
I could've had
I should've had
I would've had
If I hadn't met you

Tattoos that stain and burn my skin
With words and images
Of who I could've been
Should've been
Would've been
If I hadn't met you
Dreams of those happy summer days
With wind to make me fly
To get lost in space
Stuck in a daze
And then I see your face
I was coaxed by the lies of love
And smashed down by my own hand
I gave you all the keys to my secrets
And watched you set them all ablaze
My heart can no longer trust
Song lyrics that taunt and chain me
To all the wonderful times
I could've had
I should've had
I would've had
If I hadn't met you
