Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Did I learn about love in the back of a car, yeah?
Did I learn about trust in the ring with suffering?
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo
Bad tattoo
[Outro]
Like a preacher needs pain to stay sane
Like thunder needs rain, I keep it in view
Like a bad tattoo
Bad tattoo
