Faded Tattoo  © Joel Plimmer/James Leahy 

You stole my heart 
In the middle of the night 
Turned my colors 
To black and white 
Have I been wrong 
Tryin’ make it right 
I’ll pay the ransom 
To stop the burn 
Cause I know the lesson 
Is mine to learn 
I just can’t take it  
Because you were 

The perfect picture 
Under my skin
I thought forever 
Would never end 
But you changed
Turned a page
You went away 
Became a ghost in my rear view
Like a faded tattoo
A faded tattoo

It was easy to do 
Wasn’t hard for you
To jump that track 
It was really tough  
To give it up 
I couldn’t stop trying to get you back 
Cause I’d never felt it 
A love like that 

The perfect picture 
Under my skin
I thought forever 
Would never end 
But you changed
Turned a page
You went away 
Became a ghost in my rear view
Like a faded tattoo
A faded tattoo

That picture’s messing with my head 
You said that you would never leave 
But the worst of you 
It got the best of me 

SOLO

You were the perfect picture 
Under my skin
I thought forever 
Would never end 
But you changed
Turned a page
You went away 
Became a ghost in my rear view
Like a faded tattoo
A faded tattoo
Oooh
A faded tattoo
