Bad Tattoo

There were stories in my life that I ain't proud to tell
When I was living in darker days, a forgotten soul in hell

Times when hope was out of sight, no meaning to it all
Darkness all around me when I was meant to fall
Meant to fall

Then I learned what it takes to win
No matter how deep down I've ever been
Learned the hard way to stand up again

Seasons change and times go by
I keep on marching with my head up high
Not willing to live a life in pain
Those days they marked me, like a bad tattoo
But they're a part of me, like a bad tattoo

Now I see the reason why we sometimes need to fall
'Cause every time we rise again, we gain strength for standing tall

Getting older makes me realize, unfinished business will return
Everything comes back to us, until the lesson will be learned
Will be learned

Then I learned what it takes to win
No matter how deep down I've ever been
Learned the hard way to stand up again

Seasons change and times go by
I keep on marching with my head up high
Not willing to live a life in pain
Those lessons marked me, like a bad tattoo
But they're a part of me, like a bad tattoo

Seasons change and times go by
I keep on marching with my head up high
Not willing to live a life in pain
Those lessons marked me, like a bad tattoo
But they're a part of me, like a bad tattoo

They will mark me, like a bad tattoo
And they're a part of me, like a bad tattoo
