She's got this picture in her head of leaving Feels like there's nothing left, for no good reason How could he hit her, she's wasn't born a quitter And she never deserved to be treated like that She leaves a letter as she leaves his place Still feeling all the bruises on her face She only wanted to feel like she was wanted And that all changed when he broke that bottle And she said, you might have got the best of me But you'll never get the rest of me I'm not afraid to be who I am 'Cause nobody told me that I couldn't be that I wanna scream like it's never been said But mean it like a black tattoo I don't wanna care about what everyone says I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead I wanna touch down where miracles live And show it like a black tattoo She grabs her keys and she drives on down the road Her thoughts are flashing through her mind like vertigo But she knows if she stops that she'll just go back Her mother told her she was smarter than that What ever happened to the world, when did she stop dreaming No matter what she never stopped believing She said I want a life that's filled with meaning I don't want anything else and she said And she said, you might have got the best of me But you'll never get the rest of me I'm not afraid to be who I am 'Cause nobody told me that I couldn't be that I wanna scream like it's never been said But mean it like a black tattoo And I don't wanna care about what everyone says I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead I wanna touch down where miracles live And show it like a black tattoo (Tattoo Tattoo) Show it like a black tattoo (Tattoo Tattoo) Show it like a black tattoo (Tattoo Tattoo) I'm not afraid to be who I am 'Cause nobody told me that I couldn't be that I wanna scream like it's never been said But mean it like a black tattoo And I don't wanna care about what everyone says I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead I wanna touch down where miracles live And show it like a black tattoo (Tattoo Tattoo) Show it like a black tattoo (Tattoo Tattoo) Show it like a black tattoo (Tattoo Tattoo) Show it like a black tattoo Show it like a black tattoo
