Take a minute, remember the past
Keep it all in view
Takin' it in with a knife in my back
A wound that's waiting to heal

I should regret it, but I don't
Should cover it up, but I won't
It's that vision of you
Like a bad tattoo (bad tattoo)

Still learning to take my time
Gonna make mistakes
You know, even when the Sun don't shine
Yeah, I still got faith
Gonna let my broken pieces tell the truth

Like a bad tattoo
Like a bad tattoo

Did I learn about love in the back of a car? Yeah
Did I learn about trust in the ring with suffering?

Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo (bad tattoo)

Like a bad tattoo
Like a bad tattoo

Still learning to take my time
Gonna make mistakes
You know, even when the Sun don't shine
Yeah, I still got faith
Gonna let my broken pieces tell the truth

Like a bad tattoo
Like a bad tattoo

Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo (bad tattoo)
Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo (bad tattoo)
