Lyrics

A tattoo can hurt so bad that you'll cry, but there's a piece of art waiting on the other side.

She broke your heart in little pieces. Now you feel all alone.
I know that feeling well. Been on my own,
Searching for the kind of person I could call my own.
Woah - oh

But the thing you gotta realize on the days when there are tears in your eyes,
Is that the sun will have to set for it to rise,
Even higher and so bright that it will burn out your eyes.
You'll be surprised.

A tattoo can hurt so bad that you'll cry, but there's a piece of art waiting on the other side.
And right now, I know there's tears in your eyes, but there's a smile on your face on the other side.
I promise you.
It's just like a tattoo.

You told me that you're scared to live without her and be just you.
But I knew you even better than you do.
And you're twice as strong as any person I ever knew.
It's true.

But the thing you gotta realize on the days the days it seems the sun will not shine,
Is that the rain will have to fall for clouds to die.
Then you'll see the brightest color blue you've seen in the sky.
You'll be surprised.

A tattoo can hurt so bad that you'll cry, but there's a piece of art waiting on the other side.
And right now, I know there's tears in your eyes, but there's a smile on your face on the other side.
I promise you.
It's just like a tattoo.
The scars will heal on you.
Just like a tattoo.

Now I'm not saying every day will be a perfect day.
I'm not saying there won't be days you don't feel okay.
I'm just saying after days when there are clouds in the sky the sun will shine.

A tattoo can hurt so bad that you'll cry, but there's a piece of art waiting on the other side.

A tattoo can hurt so bad that you'll cry, but there's a piece of art waiting on the other side.
And right now, I know there's tears in your eyes, but there's a smile on your face on the other side.
I promise you.
It's just like a tattoo.
The scars will heal on you.
Just like a tattoo.
It's just like a tattoo.
