Permanent Stain Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nick]
Out in the rain, looking for sunshine
I call your name, but you're like a ghost
I let you disappear
Should've never let you go, oh-oh-oh!
I want to say that just for the record
That you still got my heart and my soul
And though we're worlds apart
Yeah, I gotta let you know, oh-oh-oh!

[Pre-Chorus: Howie]
You are the piece I can't replace
You left a mark that won't erase, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart
And I've been feeling it
Never mind what people say, 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it

[Verse 2: AJ]
Some tried to break through the walls that
I built up, but they don't compare to you
One chance, I swear
I'll never let you go, oh-oh-oh!
[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
You are the piece I can't replace
You left a mark that won't erase, oh-oh

[Chorus: All & AJ]
(No!)
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart
And I've been feeling it (I've been feeling it)
Never mind what people say, 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart (heart!)
You're never leaving it (yeah-yeah)

[Interlude: All & AJ]
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh-oh)
You left a permanent stain on my heart
And I've been feeling it

[Bridge: Kevin]
Washed away the tide
Never gonna fade
No one can touch the fame
Or tame the fire (tame the fire)

[Pre-Chorus: Nick]
You are the piece I can't replace
You left a mark that won't erase, oh-oh
[Chorus: All & AJ]
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart (heart!)
And I've been feeling it (yeah-yeah)
Never mind what people say, 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it (never leave, never leaving it)

[Outro: All & AJ]
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
You left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it (never leave, never leaving it)
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
Oooh-oooh (never leave, never leaving it)
You left a permanent stain on my heart
You're never leaving it (it...)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
