The Same Tattoos

Fences

And I was born in the same town as you, 
Hell, I even think we have the same tattoos.
Mother hates it when I smile and she sees you coming through me, 
Like the sun shines through thin glass.

It's not like you were really gone, gone, gone, gone, 
But you were and I never felt love.
It's not like you were really gone, gone, gone, gone, 
But you were and I never felt love.

My uncle gave me on the day that I turned 13, 
A black box that said "Gillette," rusted and scratched, 
And it was full of memories and memorabilia, 
And a necklace with a saint I wore in class.

It's not like you were really gone, gone, gone, gone, 
But you were and I never felt love.
It's not like you were really gone, gone, gone, gone, 
But you were and I never felt love.
It's not like you were really gone, gone, gone, gone, 
But you were and I never felt love.
It's not like you were really gone, gone, gone gone, 
But you were and I never felt love.
