[Verse 1]
Hear me, know me, I'll be ugly
Walking backwards, crawling after
My legs are numb, my tongue swelled up
I heard it cuts, I hate your guts

[Chorus]
I go like a tattoo
My arms sink with permanent ink
And I need you inside my bed
Like I need a bullet to the head
I go like a tattoo
A perfect shade of blue
A perfect shade of you
A permanent tattoo

[Verse 2]
Every day since you've been scared
But I wouldn't have it any other way
So unprepared, and I didn't get the chance to say
My heart, your home, my life, you're gone
My room, your legs, my tongue, your face

[Chorus]
I go like a tattoo
My arms sink with permanent ink
And I need you inside my bed
Like I need a bullet to the head
I go like a tattoo
A perfect shade of blue
A perfect shade of you
A permanent tattoo
[Bridge]
Trace your finger up my arm
Write your name next to the scars
All alone into the dark
'Cause I always fall for you
I fall, I fall

[Chorus]
I go like a tattoo
I fade just like a tattoo
I need you inside my bed
Like I need a bullet to the head

[Chorus]
I go like a tattoo
My arms sink with permanent ink
And I need you inside my bed
Like I need a bullet to the head
I go like a tattoo
A perfect shade of blue
A perfect shade of you
