Before I met you, nobody ever got so close
But then I let you come to my rescue
And I started to expect you to be the hands that held me up
But then you turned off all the lights and walked away
And I don't blame you, no, you were just as scared as I was
And I could shame you, yeah
But was a fool to think that I could ever change you, rearrange you
And I'm finally over it
But there's some things that the water won't wash off
Just like a bad tattoo
I bear the mark of you
The scars you left upon my skin
Are proof I let the wrong one in
But they make me proud (So proud of it)
'Cause they show that I won't be kept down
I'm wearing you just like a bad tattoo
In September, I thought I would be hung up on you forever
But I pulled myself together and got better
Come December, dyed my hair and dried my eyes
But there's some things that the water won't wash off
Just like a laughter line in the morning light
Like the ear you pierce for the second time
Like the face you make when you change your mind
You'll be there for the rest of my life
Just like a bad tattoo
I bear the mark of you
The scars you left upon my skin
Are proof I let the wrong one in
But they make me proud (So proud of it)
'Cause they show that I won't be kept down
I'm wearing you just like a bad tattoo
And even though I am still healing
I'd do it all over, I'd do it all over again
And though there's a scar on my heart
Well, it came out of love, it came out of love
Just like a bad tattoo (And even though I am still healing)
I bear the mark of you (I'd do it all over, I'd do it all over again)
I'm wearing you just like a bad tattoo
