Heart Tattoo Lyrics

I want a heart tattoo
I want it to hurt really bad
That's how I'll know
I'll know it's real
A real tattoo
I wanna say "what's up dad?"
Who knows how you'd feel about that
What do you want me to say?
It's never going away
My heart tattoo
That's what I'll
That's what I'll do
I'll get a heart
A heart tattoo
I want a heart tattoo
I'll never get it removed
That's how I'll know
I'll know it's real
A real tattoo
I know that it looks bad
But it's the only one I have
What do you want me to say?
It's never going away
My heart tattoo
That's what I'll
That's what I'll do
I'll get a heart
A heart tattoo
(I know that it looks bad)
A heart tattoo
(But it's the only one I have)
A heart tattoo
(I know that it looks bad)
A heart tattoo
(I know)

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.

The singer is dealing with the fact that he acted in a selfish, heartless way. He's probably got a history of this behavior.

The only way he can "have a heart" and behave in a way that's not selfish is to fake it -- to get a tattoo of a heart in lieu of the real heart that he doesn't have.
