Jester

They say you'll be alright, hey, just cheer up, you'll see

But they don't know the grip you still have on me

I'm trying to forget you, but you're inked in my bones

A tattoo on my soul, I can't leave alone

And I'm feeling like a fool with my head in the gallows

If you were the first to cast a stone, start all the sorrow

I made a pinky promise, baby, you know I don't swear

But if you ever asked for me, I'd be right there

I walk these empty streets, just a shadow in the light

Pretending I'm okay, but I'm losing every fight

Your name bleeds through my heart, no matter what I do

Every step I take away, I'm still tied to you

And I'm feeling like a fool with my head in the gallows

If you were the first to throw the fruit, start all the sorrow

I made a pinky promise, baby, you know I don't swear

But if you wanted me again, I'd still be right there

I'd still be right there

They say time heals, but this cuts too deep

I'm counting sheep at night, but I still can't sleep

The scars you left are deeper than skin

Every time I try to rise, you pull me back in

I see your face in every crowd, a ghost I cannot run

Trying to forget you, but the damage is done

You're the anchor on my soul, dragging me below

But if you whispered out my name, you know I'd still go

And I'm feeling like a fool with my head in the gallows

If you were the first to throw the stone, start all the sorrow

I made a pinky promise, baby, you know I don't swear

But if you called for me tonight, I'd be right there

Everyone tells me you'll be alright

But they don't know the way you still hold tight

You're a tattoo on my soul, forever etched and stained

If you called me baby, I'd come back the same

Yeah, if you called me baby

I'd come back today
