[Verse 1]
Faded tattoos on my sunburnt skin
Each one a story where trouble's been
Whiskey-stained nights and a devilish grin
[Prechorus]
I tried to run but the ink won’t fade
My past is a map I can’t evade
[Chorus]
Faded tattoos
They tell the truth
Every scar
Every lie
Every stolen youth
Faded tattoos
They bleed and bruise
But I wear them proud
I’ve got nothing to lose
[Verse 2]
Black roses crawl up my weary arm
A rebel’s shield
A good luck charm
But they can’t shield me from the harm
[Prechorus]
I’ve danced with angels
Kissed the flames
Each tattoo whispers forgotten names
[Chorus]
Faded tattoos
They tell the truth
Every scar
Every lie
Every stolen youth
Faded tattoos
They bleed and bruise
But I wear them proud
I’ve got nothing to lose
