Jordin Sparks. Yes the American Idol winner, song, Tattoo came on the radio,
To admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind
And I thought of my friend, and how we fought.
I can’t waste time so give it a moment I realize, nothing’s broken.
I’d remember him as being major part of all the events of my life.
No need to worry ‘bout everything I’ve done live every second like it was my last one, don’t look back got a new direction.
Like a permanent tattoo, he would be a part of my life, if only a memory.
I loved you once, needed protection, you’re still a part of everything I do, you’re on my heart just like a tattoo, I’ll always have you
The analogy, a metaphor, of a tattoo, like friendship, it fades, loses its luster and meaning with time. But the reason for the tattoo remains embedded. Though the friendship dissipated, and faded to the background, were once it was new, a symbol, now a part of you, like the tattoo, there, but not noticed.
