Makeup

You love-bombed
It didn't detonate quick enough
Left too much
Damage for diamonds in the rough

Ingrained in my head is your arms twisted
In our tangled bed
Different reality, despite my sanity
You're just not ready

When I look my best
In my off-grey dress
And my makeup looks so pretty
Then I see your text
Get drunk and upset
I always end up crying it off me

Flags were there
And our drinks were no longer cold
But I still kept
The ringer on in case you phoned

Does something of substance even exist when
I'm left all alone again
And now when I wake and I see it's 4 am
You next to me is what I had dreamt

When I look my best
In my off-grey dress
And my makeup looks so pretty
Then I see your text
Get drunk and upset
I always end up crying it off me

When my makeup looks so pretty
I always end up crying it off me

The world really looks different through the lens of mascara tears
Frozen solid then you melted all of my fears
Now I'm in the back of a cab, silently stabbed
And if you're home alone right now I'll be damned

I tried hard to look pretty
To stroll into the city
And you didn't even see me
You didn't even see me

When I look my best
In my off-grey dress
And my makeup looks so pretty
Then I see your text
Get drunk and upset
I always end up crying it off me

(Ingrained in my head is your arms twisted
In our tangled bed)
When my makeup looks so pretty
(And now when I wake and I see it's 4 am
You next to me is what I had dreamt)
I always end up crying it off me
