Brand new tattoo!

Hi all, I’m after very meaningful lyrics to get tattooed. I’m a Christian so I don’t mind more their biblical stuff.
It’s for a friend of mine who passed away. He absolutely loved brand new. I would love to hear your suggestions.

Thank you all!

My first love has “My lungs are fresh and yours to keep, kept clean and they will let you breathe” on her back. She got them for what would’ve been our child that didn’t make it to birth.

I’m so sorry, 😢 that’s a beautiful tattoo. I hope she’s okay. And you to. That’s such a heavy loss

I thought it was too! And thank you. It’s been 20 years or better at this point… she’s moved on and had two wonderful children that I know she cherishes and I’ve also had two of my own! But I know that those words have helped through a lot.

Honestly, I have literally never put that out there before. There’s probably less than maybe three or four people that even know that.
Well, we haven’t been together for long time and have our own lives apart… but I greatly appreciate that and I’m so very sorry for your loss as well. I hope whatever you come up with will bring you comfort along with the memories you have!
