She's got this picture in her head of leaving
Feels like there's nothing left and no good reason
How could he hit her? She 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 I mean it like a black tattoo
Don't wanna care about what everyone says
I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead
I wanna touchdown where miracles live
And show it like a black tattoo
She grabs the 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
Whatever 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, "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 I mean it like a black tattoo
Don't wanna care about what everyone says
I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead
I wanna touchdown 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
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 I mean it like a black tattoo
Don't wanna care about what everyone says
I don't wanna live inside a past that's dead
I wanna touchdown 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
