Faded Black Tattoo

Hello, love

Never thought I'd see you on the other side of the table

A broken light

Flickers all around me like a thousand fireflies

You're an alien to me now, right out of the blue

We're lost, but somehow this maze is all we ever knew

Sometimes love isn't all you need

Isn't what you thought it was

Sometimes love isn't what it seemed

Isn't worth the harm it does

It's a faded black tattoo

It's a wandering red balloon

And it always follows you

Hello, love

Forever hiding out beneath the shadows of my fable

Like daggers and flames

You bring me to my knees with hope and pain in spades, my friend

You're an alien to me now, right out of the blue

We're lost, but somehow this maze is all we ever knew

Sometimes love isn't all you need

Isn't what you thought it was

Sometimes love isn't what it seemed

Isn't worth the harm it does

It's a faded black tattoo

It's a wandering red balloon

And it always follows you

Sometimes love isn't all you need

Isn't what you thought it was

Sometimes love isn't what it seemed

Isn't worth the harm it does

It's a faded black tattoo

It's a wandering red balloon

And it always follows you

And it always follows you
