you said that you loved me
and that we should get matching tattoos
i was a fool and believed you
so i went along with it
you said it would be a symbol of our love
permanent and lasting forever
so i allowed that needle to scar my wrist
in spite of the pain, in spite of all the danger
with a key i could not wash away with soap and water
over your chest is a lock
because you told me that i held the key to your heart
you told me that we would never ever part
but tell me this-
where are you now?
alone i sit in this empty apartment
the only sign that you've been here before
is an empty bottle of booze
and this fucking tattoo
