Song lyrics

We used to get high together
Instead of getting high alone,
I can't remember
The last time I saw you,
I can't remember
The last time we talked.
You left home for a fresh start,
Working as a waitress
Down in Bradenton,
With my name tattooed
Into your skin.

[Chorus:]
Because of the shame
I associate with vulnerability,
I am numbing myself completely,
Can you hear me right now?
I watched your mother bury you today
With tears in her eyes,
It wasn't her words that shook me,
But the resemblence you shared.

Don't it seem so detached and unreal?
Don't it seem so far away?
Like the past never happened
Or like nothing's ever changed.
With your casket open in front of me,
Your eyes closed and your lips silent,
With my name tattooed
Into your skin.

[Chorus]

I didn't listen to the preacher.
I couldn't look your husband in the eye.
I'm not sure what I meant to you then,
So I'm not sure what I owe you now.
But if something I said hurt you
I swear it was not my intention,
With your name tattooed
Into my skin,
With your name tattooed
Into my skin...

[Chorus]

Can you hear me right now?
Can you hear me right now?
