No matter how I

Shower
No matter how I wash it off
No matter how I scrub and try
Your memory still won't fade away
No matter how I throw it out
No matter how I turn around
The past with you is here to stay
Can time erase what’s left behind?
Will it all just fade with time?
How long must I wait and bleed
Till this tattoo of you on me
Finally sets me free?
No matter how I wash it off
No matter how I wipe and cry
Your memory won't say goodbye
No matter how I push it down
No matter how I look away
You're in my mind every single day
At the end of every thought
At the end of every glance
It’s always you—still taking that chance
I can’t imagine anyone new
Taking the place that once was you
Even now, that thought feels untrue
No matter how I wash it off
No matter how I wipe and cry
Your memory won't say goodbye
No matter how I push it down
No matter how I turn away
You're the stain I can’t erase
