Discover the story of the song > Tattoos – Tyler Childers

The protagonist was left by his partner and he's now just a memory to her. She's found someone new, and he's now the one she needs and leans on. They enjoy drinking together, but whiskey also makes her forget things from the past. The protagonist is resigned to the fact that he's alone and will always be a reminder of how his partner has grown. Although the past is fading, it's still hanging on for life.
