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.
Chorus
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'd 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.
Chorus
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 china 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 had to ask myself
Would I do it all again?
Would I?
Chorus
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.
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.
Chorus
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'd 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.
Chorus
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 china 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 had to ask myself
Would I do it all again?
Would I?
Chorus
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.
