🎵 Hook (Melodic, catchy, tattoo metaphor throughout)
Told her I loved her — now I’m branded for life (inked)
Heart got stitches and a rose with a knife (deep)
She said “forever,” then dipped overnight
Now I’m stuck with her name in the wrong light
Ink don’t fade when it’s close to the bone (bone)
I gave her soul, she left prints on my tone
She moved on, but I still see her face
Every time I check the scars I can’t erase

[Verse 1 – 1-Bar Setup, no repeats, all new ideas]
She tatted my trust and peeled it back slow
Now love feel like needles — I don’t let it show
I wear pain like ink — smile through sleeves
Her name still echoes when I try to breathe
She left her vibe in the crease of my neck
Now I flinch when girls ask what’s next
I told her “don’t lie” while she traced my chest
Now I flinch every time I get undressed
She the reason I don’t sit in chairs long
I feel the ghost in me when love get strong

🎵 Hook (repeat with double-layer harmony)
Told her I loved her — now I’m branded for life
Heart got stitches and a rose with a knife
She said “forever,” then dipped overnight
Now I’m stuck with her name in the wrong light
Ink don’t fade when it’s close to the bone
I gave her soul, she left prints on my tone
She moved on, but I still see her face
Every time I check the scars I can’t erase
---
[Verse 2 – More pain, sharper metaphors]
She said I’m hers, then ghosted like mist
Left a flame on my skin I can’t resist
I covered her name with a dragon in black
But still feel her voice when I’m rollin’ back
Love was art, now it’s art I regret
Tattooed peace, but got war instead
I don’t post new love — they all ask why
‘Cause the last one left ink I still hide
They say tattoos tell a story — I got a book
She a chapter I read, but can’t overlook
---
🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 2:
“Can’t forget.” / “Still inked.” / “Felt that.” / “Truth hurt.”

🎧 Outro – fading guitar loop, spoken line
(Spoken)
Love ain’t gone. It just healed wrong...
Like ink that never fully sets.
