Permanent Stain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out in the rain looking for sunshine
I call your name, but you're like a ghost
I let you disappear, should've never let you go
I want to say just for the record
That you still got my heart and my soul
And though we're worlds apart
Yeah I gotta let you know
You are the piece I can't replace, oh, oh, oh
You left a mark that won't erase, oh, oh
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain
On my heart
And I've been feeling it
Never mind what people say
'Cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain
On my heart
You're never leaving it
Some tried to break through the walls that
I build up but they don't compare to you
One chance and I swear I never let you go
You are the piece I can't replace, oh, oh, oh
You left a mark that won't erase, no
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain
On my heart
And I've been feeling it
Never mind what people say
'Cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain
On my heart
You're never leaving it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it
Wash away the tide
Never gonna fade
No one can touch the flame or tame the fire
You are the piece I can't replace, oh, oh, oh
You left a mark that won't erase, oh, oh
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain
On my heart
And I've been feeling it
Never mind what people say
'Cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain
On my heart
You're never leaving it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it
