[Verse 1]
Afterthought, was I an afterthought?
Shook me like an earthquake, now there's aftershock
Was it real? Was it real? Was it real?
Now he says he needs space like an astronaut

[Pre-Chorus]
Novocaine in goodbye
Numb my brain, tell me why, oh why, oh why, oh why

[Chorus]
Tattoos hurt less than what you put me through
Ooh, oh-oh
No ink, no stain, just permanent pain
You don't break like I do
It's brutal
Engrave your name straight into my veins

[Post-Chorus]
Tattoos hurt less than you, you
Tattoos hurt less than—

[Verse 2]
Showin' up two hours late
Excuses that you cut and paste
Didn't help that you were wasted
Whiskey on your tongue, Chanel Number 1
Do you think I'm dumb? Oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Novocainе in goodbye
Numb my brain, tell me why, oh why, oh why, oh why

[Chorus]
Tattoos hurt lеss than what you put me through
Ooh, oh-oh
No ink, no stain, just permanent pain
You don't break like I do
It's brutal
Engrave your name straight into my veins

[Post-Chorus]
Tattoos hurt less than you, you
Tattoos hurt less than you, you

[Outro]
Tattoos hurt less than you, than you
You
Tattoos hurt less than you, you
