Tattoo Heart Lyrics

When I was young
And thought nothing would harm me
No-one could alarm me
To the errors of my days
And the nights
Those dark starry nights
They seemed so eternal
Till they went out in a blaze

If I gave you a minute
You'd call it a day
In the life of a stranger
I'm swept away

Your heart, you never gave your heart to me
Was I so blind that
I just couldn't see
That your heart, was never in my arms
You lived in the shadows
With your tattoo heart

I no longer see you
In that cellophane mask
I don't have to deal with
Your sleight of hand past
And the nights
Ring silence from your call
Your sensual innuendo
I'm not missing it at all

It took only a minute
For me to call it a day
Now your just a memory
So very far away

Your heart, you never gave your heart to me
Was I so blind that
I just couldn't see
That your heart, was never in my arms
You lived in the shadows
With your tattoo heart
