Tattoos & Heartbreaks

It was a small beach town on the coast of Carolina

The waves in your hair and a purple sunset behind ya’

Salt in the air

Empty bottles in the trash

Heaven came down

Said you wanna make it last

Now everyday i’m left with this reminder

I could cover it up

With another guy's name

Or some bright red roses in a bright white vase

Enough

Of it bringing me back to the sting of the day you left me

It’s tough

Just checking the time and it’s there on my wrist in black outline

But Oh tell me what’s the first to fade

The tattoo or the heartbreak?

I could lie to myself and try to change the meaning

But at the end of the day it won’t erase the feelings

That I'm never gonna find another love like that

It’s a permanent thing, yeah I can’t go back

No matter what I do, I’m gonna think of you

I could cover it up

With another guy's name

Or some bright red roses in a bright white vase

Enough

Of it bringing me back to the sting of the day you left me

It’s tough

Just checking the time and it’s there on my wrist in black outline

But oh tell me what’s the first to fade

The tattoo or the heartbreak? Yeah

Tattoo or the heartbreak?

I could try to remove it, help me get through it

Tell me, what did you do with my name on your arm

Did you could cover it up

With another girl's name

For the same damn reason

Things will never be the same

Enough

Of it bringing me back to the sting of the day you left me

It’s tough

Just checking the time and it’s there on my wrist in black outline

Oh tell me what’s the first to fade

The tattoo or the heartbreak?

The tattoo or the heartbreak?

Woah
