Black Mascara

I've seen a lot of things, I've been a lot of places
I love my diamond rings, I wear my pearls real naked
I think I'm better off
When I do what I fucking want

So don't let me down
Don't take my golden era
Don't smear my black mascara

One day, I'll have some money after my funeral, honey
They'll say I was a legend, gone way too soon for heaven
I'll leave them in suspense
All waiting up just for one kiss

So don't let me down
Don't take my golden era, don't take my hand out the crowd
I ain't your Cinderella
Don't smear my black mascara

You lost me out by the creek
When you could hardly speak
Say that you'd die for me
So why not give it all away?
That's not attention that I crave

I've got too much left to prove
My flowers still want to bloom
Don't read it as an excuse
No, I can't give it all away
That's not the future that I crave

I've seen a lot of things, I've been a lot of places
I love my diamond rings, I wear my pearls real naked
I think I'm better off
When I do what I fucking want
