[Verse 1]

I can't cease the river from running to the sea

I can't cease the thunder from shouting so angrily

I don't have the power to gather the seven seas

When I can't cease the fire inside of me

[Chorus]

Painted like a tattoo

Forbidden like a taboo

This feeling I can't undo

I don't know if you feel it too

Painted like a tattoo

Forbidden like a taboo

The feeling I have for you

I can't stop it if I wanted to

[Verse 2]

I can't fight the fever from burning secretly

I can't fight the hour from going without asking me

I know not to shatter this desire easily

Cause I can't fight the fire inside of me

[Chorus]

Painted like a tattoo

Forbidden like a taboo

This feeling I can't undo

I don't know if you feel it too

Painted like a tattoo

Forbidden like a taboo

My love is waiting for you

What am I supposed to do?

Painted like a tattoo

Forbidden like a taboo

The feeling I have for you

I can't stop it if I wanted to

[Bridge]

Just like a war against nature

To never dream of you ever

Wish I had the power to try

The power to try

I can't stop the fire inside of me

[Chorus]

Like a tattoo, like a tattoo

This fire inside of me

Painted like a tattoo

Like a tattoo, like a tattoo

This fire inside of me

Like a tattoo, like a tattoo

This fire inside of me

Like a tattoo, like a tattoo

Painted like a tattoo

Painted
