Kira Rae - Ink Stains Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Found my old diary in the rain today
Watching ten years bleed away
Little girl's secrets running down the page
But somehow they remain, like ink stains
Purple words all turning grey
But baby, that's okay

[Chorus]
These ink stains tell my story
Even when the words get blurry
Every smudge and every mark
Still glowing in the dark
Like watercolor memories
Bleeding into who I'll be
These beautiful mistakes
Are mine to keep

[Verse 2]
Mama's lullaby echoes through the years
Mixed with midnight tears
Tried to dry the pages with my shaking hands
But some things you can't understand
Till they fade away
Like yesterday

[Bridge]
Sometimes the clearest truth
Comes from what we lose
When everything runs together
That's when we discover
What remains is real
What remains we feel

[Chorus]
These ink stains tell my story
Even when the words get blurry
Every smudge and every mark
Still glowing in the dark
Like watercolor memories
Bleeding into who I'll be
These beautiful mistakes
Are mine to keep

[Outro]
Let it rain, let it pour
Don't need those pages anymore
'Cause what's written on my soul
Baby, that won't ever go
These ink stains, they're here to stay
Even as the words fade away
