Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just what I said wrong
Is anybody's guess
But the bruise on my face
Was as blue as my dress
Broken bottle on the table
Broken lamp on the floor
Couple thousand miles
From the bed to the door
[Verse 2]
Lipstick on his cheek
From my last kiss
Took a ten from his wallet
Left the maid a tip
[Verse 3]
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
End up faded and blue
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
[Verse 4]
Slipped out of the room
Tryin' not to be seen
Only sound
Old ice machine
I was feelin' so scared
Nowhere to go
How did my life
End up so low?
They say thirty's young
But I'm feelin' old
Guess that's when the night
Got even colder
[Verse 5]
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
End up faded and blue
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
[Verse 6]
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
End up faded and blue
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Said I look so pretty on his arm
Same one he raised to do me harm
[Verse 7]
Well, I picked up a ride
Right into Reno
He got us a room above the casino
The music was loud
And the drinks were cheap
But I know right away
I wasn't gettin' no sleep
Then I got the fear
All over again
When I saw all that drawing
All over his skin
[Verse 8]
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
End up faded and blue
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
[Verse 9]
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
End up faded and blue
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
[Verse 10]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
No
End up faded and blue
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
Ain't gonna be your tattoo
