I give you my fingers, 
I give you my faults, 
My heart won't be broken, 
With wrenches and bolts.

So hold me just tightly, 
And tip toe so soft, 
The night is a-coming 
And lights will turn off. 

I give you my flaws, 
My perfections and more, 
My twists and my turns and 
My thoughts and my awe 

So carefully hold them, 
Whilst time ticks along, 
Counting the seconds down
Til they're gone. 

But still you will carry me, 
Happy and sweet, 
And I will support you 
My hands and my feet. 

I give you my fingers, 
My spirit, my shine,
And hope that returning, 
Your love will be mine. 

So trust in my words 
Cos they're some to believe. 
Just love me completely 
And take them from me.

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper - Cover

A song about my tattoos and what they mean to me.

Sink in your teeth, 
But bite down soft, 
This one will hurt, 

But just enough. 

Sometimes we're hurting, 
Sometimes we're lost, 
But help me through, 
That pretty pain, 
That pretty pain. 

The poison sits, 
Beneath my skin, 
And will correct me, 
From deep within. 

Sometimes we're wandering, 
Sometimes it's just too far, 
But it'll help you through, 
That pretty pain, 
That pretty pain. 


How many times, 
Can insanity be a part of me? 
When, I turn it off, 
The messiness that touches all of 
The broken things, 
Are crumbling into the breach and 
The unsewn threads, 
Will pick apart, the songs that I will sing, 
Of That pretty pain, 
Of that pretty pain. 

How many times, 
Can insanity be a part of me? 
When, I turn it off, 
The messiness that touches all of 
The broken things, 
Are crumbling into the breach and 
The unsewn threads, 
Will pick apart, the songs that I will sing, 
Of That pretty pain, 
Of that pretty pain. 

I will not cry again this time, 
I will be strong until the end. 
I can't undo the tears I've shed, 
But I can try to ease my head. (over the top) 

No one will take me, 
Away from the pieces of my heart 
When fear can shake me, 
I'll focus back at the start. 

How many times, 
Can insanity be a part of me? 
When, I turn it off, 
The messiness that touches all of 
The broken things, 
Are crumbling into the breach and 
The unsewn threads, 
Will pick apart, the songs that I will sing, 
Of That pretty pain, 
Of that pretty pain.
