Bear Chest Lyrics by Treehouses

I’d Rather Forget

0

Her tattoos tell stories I couldn't imagine
She's grown to crave that reaction
Each line of ink a scar of memories she won't forget
Every name inked in her skin holds another regret
A lifetime isn't long enough to black out her past
And I thought she'd found peace at last
But I'm not a puzzle she could solve
I'm not a puzzle she could solve

As the pieces on her arms evolve, I see lost words and locked up stories
Does she regret those words on her knuckles
Did they hurt?
They all fucking hurt
The clock on her back is for her dad
The day she found out I was the first person she told
She cried in my arms for hours, her tears staining my skin with the memory just the same as hers
She doesn't need it to remember him, she always will
She has it to make sure others know the man he was
I've covered up the scars she gave me
But they'll be on my skin for life
They'll never truly leave me

You're begging for meaning where answers will never satisfy your curiosity
But if you're desperate, I'll tell you
A bear on the chest is a symbol of lost love
Regret and freedom, breaking from tradition
Bare chested we consider a crown, on the ribs
More pain than it's worth
It reminds me not to get attached to anyone
Not to people, at least
Her scars will never leave me
Her tears will be on my skin for life
