They took the joy in your smile and gleam in your eye
Shoved them into a calculator with a factor of pi
Came out with a number they printed out of a hundred
But baby you were one in infinity to me
They took your fraction and a snapshot you hated
To try and steal your memory while suburbia waited
For their marmalade toast and their morning coffee
Smalltown Mail’s latest throwaway tragedy
But will they care
Will they ever know
Dare to lose a tear
I don’t think so
I’ll tattoo your name on the sunrise in black marker pen
Because there’s no au revoir if I’ll never see you again
I’ll sing our song forever even if you won’t make a sound
But baby there’s no silver cloud six feet under the ground
I’ll always care
I’ll always know
Yours is the heartache
I’ll never let go
I’ll tattoo your name, but it won’t be the same
And I’ll sing our song, though the chorus is long
I’ll wait for you, you’ve only yourself to blame
It was only you, all along, all along…
I’ll always love and treasure the pain you left me
Like a pinch of the heart to tell me it wasn’t a dream
Too good to be true, yet you were real alright
But now I’m left trying to sleep in the darkest of nights
(I’ll sing you a lullaby)
We’ll do a duet
I miss your voice
I’ll never forget
(We’ll storm the show
Then with me you’ll fly
I’ll never leave again
You won’t miss me this time)
I can keep crying
If you keep lying
Promise we’re never goodbye-ing?
(But darling, we’re flying…)
I’ll tattoo your name on the sunrise in black marker pen
