Bare skin and ink You read my body like a picture book But I didn't think That I could ever feel this intimate With someone
Oh, let my words be clear This is a love song Only for you my dear
Chest pressed to mine I feel your heart sing a symphony You may have stolen mine But the last thing I need is sympathy From someone
Oh, let my words be clear This is a love song Only for you my dear
It makes my stomach turn to think I'm not the first to call you baby, And I've been struggling to find a way, to tell you what I've been thinking lately. That I know just how you touched her I hear you breathing her in I can't escape all the secrets that you told her skin on skin
She is the shadow I can't shake I wish that I could let go but she's a part of your past that I will never come to know
And here I write my confession And tell you just how I feel That hers is a history I'm so desperate to steal
But as I look to the future It all becomes clear That you are the muse to this love song And I am yours my dear
So, let my words be clear This is a love song For only you my dear.
