Lyrics:

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
