Me and my best friend walked in that shop
Laughing so hard, said we’d never stop
Picked our designs, made a memory stay
Turned all the heartbreak into something we could save
You used to say, “I don’t like tattoos”
Like that was something I should listen to
So I kept parts of myself away
Trying to be who you wanted every day
(Pre-Chorus)
But then the truth came crashing in
Funny how stories change in the end
You said ink wasn’t your type at all
But somehow that rule didn’t stand that tall
(Chorus)
Now me and my best friend got tattoos
Matching little pieces, nothing to prove
And it’s funny how you said you hated that scene
But all the girls you cheated with looked nothing like me
Guess it wasn’t about the ink, wasn’t about the art
You just couldn’t stay honest from the start
Now I wear my story where everybody can see
And my best friend stayed loyal to me
(Verse 2)
Eight years deep and she never switched sides
Held me together when my whole world died
No mixed signals, no secret texts
Just real love, not what came next
I got the tattoo, she got one too
A promise that friendship stays true
And every line on my skin reminds me
I don’t need somebody changing me
(Bridge)
You can keep your excuses and your changing rules
I stopped trying to fit inside your truth
And if I learned one thing from losing you—
The right people love all of you
(Final Chorus)
So me and my best friend got tattoos
And we’re still standing with nothing to lose
You said you didn’t like girls with ink—
Funny what heartbreak makes you rethink
Now I’m healing, letting old things go
And my tattoos tell the story better than you know.
