"Tattoo Your Name" lyrics

I want to tattoo your name on my bones
So it's there when I'm gone
Ink always dies when we do
You've been engraved on my heart
I want it deep in my arm for what's worth
I love you so much it hurts

I write your name on my skin
It takes the cage that I'm in
And makes it feel like home
I'd write your name in the sky
But all the planes passing by
Don't get me high like you do
Maybe that's why I choose you
To stop your bleeding I'd cut my circulation
Under the needle here's my confirmation

I want to tattoo your name on my bones
So it's there when I'm gone
Ink always dies when we do
You've been engraved on my heart
I want it deep in my arm for what's worth
I love you so much it hurts

You became my strength and my weakness
Now the chaos within me feels small
I always feared that someday you'd like me less
Only through you shall I rise and I fall
I know my body on earth is a temple
I take the scars without no hesitation
I have to live in this body forever
I need you to be my new decoration

I want to tattoo your name on my bones
So it's there when I'm gone
Ink always dies when we do
You've been engraved on my heart
I want it deep in my arm for what's worth
I love you so much it hurts

Why must they judge me and my skin
They're so superficial, can't they see through the colors
I choose I'm more than my surface
I tattoo my purpose
My purpose is you

I want to tattoo your name on my bones
So it's there when I'm gone
Ink always dies when we do
You've been engraved on my heart
I want it deep in my arm for what's worth
I love you so much it hurts
