Lucky Me - Innocent Skin Lyrics

You made a first impression that took my breath away
Your starry eyes, they burned like fire and turned my night to day
When beauty only runs skin deep then I know what's below
The picture is a cover-up of lost and lonely soul
My heart will ever memorize the way you looked that night
Your body in the moonlight. Your arms around me tight
I tried to hide my sorrow, but I could not pretend
When I saw that ink on your innocent skin

They say that summer lovers burn out way too soon
But you and me we rode each night like a rocket to the moon
Some love will make you disappear, some love will make you stray
But your love left an ugly scar that will never fade away
You could fill a hundred rooms with a lifetime of regrets
But when you talk about your artwork, I see that you're not finished yet
I will always love you, but I can't stand by again
And watch you put that ink on your innocent skin

You cried when the Buddhist Statues were destroyed by the Taliban
And the perfect marble Pietà when it was hammered in the Vatican
I know it breaks your heart to see the things that people do
But tell me how that's different than what you do to you
Maybe someone hurt you when you were a little girl
But now you wear it on your sleeve like a message to the world
Tears will never wash away the madness of the sin
The way they put their ink on your innocent skin
