Fingerprints

I gave you my fingerprints

Left them all over you

Tangled up in your sheets

This heartache's the only proof

I gave you my fingerprints

Now just like you they're gone

The man invisible

I'll be him from now on

The last time that I saw them

They were running through your hair

You held one between your lips

And brought another there

The last time that I saw them

I haven't seen them since

No matter who or what I touch

I leave no evidence

I gave you my fingerprints

I said I'd give you everything

But who thought you'd take it all

Does a promise really break

If nobody sees it fall

A hard rain can't wash away

The taste of your memory

Don't know what I would do

If you should stop haunting me

The last time that I saw them

They were running through your hair

You held one between your lips

And brought another there

The last time that I saw them

Unbuttoning your dress

Those pretty pictures in my head

Are the only thing you left

I gave you my fingerprints

That shiny box I gave to you

Was all there was to me

All it was to you was just a faded memory

I gave her my fingerprints

Guilty or innocent

I have to ask myself

Would I do it all again

Would I

The last time that I saw them

They were running through your hair

You held one between your lips

And brought another there

The last time that I saw them

I haven't seen them since

No matter who or what I touch

I leave no evidence

I gave you my finger prints
