Lyrics: Anggun. Painted.

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

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

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

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

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

Like a tattoo
Like a tattoo
This fire inside of me
Painted like a tattoo
This fire
Like a tattoo
Like a tattoo
This fire inside of me
Painted like a tattoo

Painted
