Beauty Mark Lyrics

I've got a beauty mark
written on my skin
close to my heart
my favourite part
my beauty mark

i keep it out of sight
safe from the world outside
this old battle scar
this secret part
my beauty mark

this little death
this mark of sin
forever printed on my skin

i'll keep it for you

this hidden place
this private part
this secret door into my heart

i'll keep it for you

this precious jewel
this darling bud
this tiny resevoir of blood

my beauty mark
i'll keep it for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I feel like she's telling to her ex that there will always be a place for him in her heart even tough the broke up hurted her. This wound is kind of a good one, 'cause it remembers her of beautiful moments with him. Just a feeling, not sure how to describe it exactly, but that's it.

Maybe like she would say :

"It hurts me, but I'll remember 'cause it was from you and you're good souvenirs. And I still love you secretly, maybe even waiting for you to come back"
