New Tattoo Lyrics

I just can't shake you

You're the ghost that haunts the attic in my head

I can't forget you

But your memory of us is cold and dead

When we broke it off, I said the best was yet to come

You left for Europe on a red eye

Now I'm getting along

While across the pond you only seem to thrive

And you've got a new tattoo of a rose on your shoulder

To remind you of the better days that I can't get over

You're moving on with old love set in your skin

Set in your skin

When we met, you were somebody else

Brokenhearted, hiding in yourself

Scared to death and full of doubt

Couldn't find the way out of your own head

Now I see your pictures scroll through my phone

Weekends in Paris, holidays in Rome

And my mom says "Hey!

What happened to that shy girl that you used to know?"

Yeah, that I used to know

You know, I haven't seen you smile like that in ages

And I can't help but think of all the time that I've been wasting

Yeah wasted

Yeah you've got a new tattoo of a rose on your shoulder

To remind you of the better days that I can't get over

You're moving on with old love set in your skin

And you've got a new passport from Berlin, Barcelona

With a picture of a person that I used to know

With a place on her arm for the love that could have been

To the girl that you used to be

For the boy that you used to see

To the person that you've come to be

I still wonder if you think of me

When I look back, I guess I always sort of knew

Eventually, you'd up and leave to find the real you

You always said you needed distance

But I guess this is what you meant

And I miss the you that you used to be

But you left her here when you crossed the sea

And I guess the way I picture you is just an echo of your memory

Yeah, your memory

I've heard you've got a new tattoo of a rose on your shoulder

To remind you of the better days that I can't get over

You're moving on with old love set in your skin

And you've got a new passport from Berlin, Barcelona

With a picture of a person that I used to know

With a place on her arm for the love that could have been

She's got a new tattoo

Got a new tattoo

Got a new tattoo

Got a new tattoo

She's got a new tattoo

Got a new tattoo

Got a new tattoo

Got a new tattoo
