Mistakes in my life

Cut me like a knife

They can be redeemed

If I make them right

A distant inner fight

With 20/20 hindsight

But one mistake remains

As black as midnight


I can't get rid of you

You're like a bad tattoo

And you never go away

No matter what I do

After all that I've been through

I need somebody new

I can't wash you away

You're like a

You're like a bad tattoo


Things that I've done

Have turned out all wrong

The time I spent with you

Seems twice as long

I just can't get away

From the chess games that you play

I'd set myself on fire

If it would help me to escape


I can't get rid of you

You're like a bad tattoo

And you never go away

No matter what I do

After all that I've been through

I need somebody new

I can't wash you away

You're like a

You're like a bad tattoo


I can't get rid of you

You're like a bad tattoo

And you never go away

No matter what I do

After all that I've been through

I need somebody new

I can't wash you away

You're like a

You're like a bad tattoo
