Tattoo of a Bruise

[Verse 1]
People love to talk all about the way things were in the day
The sun rises up nearly every mornin' to search out some new things to say
Muddlin' through the ruts of yesteryear
I can't help but wonder what they say when they're not here

[Chorus]
I won't judge because I'm havin' the time of my life with a muse
Unconcerned with ink on the face to remember how it feels to lose
Tattoo of a bruise
Tattoo of a bruise

[Verse 2]
Take two versions of the past and they're never exactly the same
This way, that way; who could care less?
Man, look up, you're missin' the game
Time to catch up on the score
Takes a blurry picture of the way it was before

[Chorus]
I won't judge because I'm havin' the time of my life with a muse
Unconcerned with ink on the face to remember how it feels to lose
Tattoo of a bruise
Tattoo of a bruise

[Bridge]
Muddlin' through the ruts of yesteryear
I can't help but wonder what they say when they're not here

[Chorus]
I won't judge because I'm havin' the time of my life with a muse
Unconcerned with ink on the face to remember how it feels to lose
Tattoo of a bruise
Tattoo of a bruise
Tattoo of a bruise
Tattoo of a bruise
