I found you in my thoughts again
Like a splinter under my skin
And I know that it was just one night
You're like a spark in the fading light

You cut me deep, left no scars
I still feel them
You're in my blood and your heartbeat draws me nearer

The dice were loaded from the start
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
And when the pain don't leave a scar
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts

Do you keep it all locked up within?
Am I the splinter under your skin?
Do you see me when you close your eyes?
Am I the secret you try to hide?

Is there something there that you won't see, 'cause I still feel you
Am I on your mind? Your heartbeat draws me nearer

The dice were loaded from the start
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
And when the pain don't leave a scar
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts

Deep down every splinter, every splinter scars
Deep down every splinter, every splinter scars

The dice were loaded from the start
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
And when the pain don't leave a scar
We're trying to keep these splinters from our hearts
