Brooke Brown - Bad Tattoo Lyrics

I used to show you off like something to be proud of
Like you were a rare piece of art something I couldn't pass up
Thought you were a master piece until your pretty colors started to fade
What an unfortunate thing what a waste what a sad mistake
They tried to warn me not to go there
They said that I would regret it
I guess I cant say that I as unaware but I swear I
Didn't think it'd turn out like this

I let you under my skin thought it would hurt like this
Your memory is permanent there's nothing I can do
When folks bring you up it's something I'm ashamed of
All the pain you put me through you ain't nothin but a bad tattoo

It's always a hit or miss you get what you pay for
But sometimes you pay for what you get
Cause he had a reputation and I guess I should've listened
To what everyone had said especially my dad

They tried to warn me not to go there
They said that I would regret it
I guess I cant say that I as unaware but I swear I
Didn't think it'd turn out like this

I let you under my skin thought it would hurt like this
Your memory is permanent there's nothing I can do
When folks bring you up it's something I'm ashamed of
All the pain you put me through you ain't nothin but a bad tattoo

Well it's safe to say things didn't turn out the way I planned it
I walk around this town like I'm branded
Like a prisoner I served my sentence
Did my time but I'm still suffering
Left a scar like a big black X mark over my chest

I let you under my skin thought it would hurt like this
Your memory is permanent there's nothing I can do
When folks bring you up it's something I'm ashamed of
All the pain you put me through you ain't nothin but a bad tattoo
