Tattoo (selective memory)

I'd stroke your hair while you played guitar
Just to get your attention, ah
We'd watch your shows 'cause I liked your laugh
But really mine were out of the question, ah

Maybe I should be your PR
'Cause I'm twisting, I'm twisting the truth for ya
And when I miss you is when it's hard
And it's hard tonight, oh, I, I

Forget what you did to me, selective memory
The way you said my name, I forget all the bad nights
Rewriting history, pretend you were good to me
Convinced that you're the right guy, caught you at the wrong time
And, ooh, the old me knew best
Need a tattoo just to remind me why I left (why I left)
And, ooh, it's over, I guess
Need a tattoo just to remind me why I, why I left

Asked who I hated to hate 'em too
You should be top of the list, ah
We'd spend the weekends up in your room
'Cause you'd never want to take me out

Maybe I should be your PR
'Cause I made people like you, I talked you up
And when I miss you is when it's hard
And it's hard tonight, oh, I, I

Forget what you did to me, selective memory
The way you said my name, I forget all the bad nights
Rewriting history, pretend you were good to me
Convinced that you're the right guy, caught you at the wrong time (wrong time)
And, ooh, the old me knew best
Need a tattoo just to remind me why I left (why I left)
And, ooh, it's over, I guess
Need a tattoo just to remind me why I, why I left

Forget what you did to me, selective memory
The way you said my name, I forget all the bad nights
Rewriting history, pretend you were good to me
Convinced that you're the right guy, caught you at the wrong time
And, ooh, the old me knew best
Need a tattoo just to remind me why I left (why I left)
And, ooh, it's over, I guess
Need a tattoo just to remind me why I, why I left
