I know the lipstick won't fix it

But I've gotta put my game face on

I wish Mascara could mask this

Until all the tears are gone

I've gotta paint the pain away

Make like - I'm ok

Pretend I don't wanna stay

Act like this aint killing me

I've tried One two three too many times

(To walk away)

I've heard one two three too many lies

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out that door

That I don't love you anymore

I gotta play the part act like it aint killin'me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

And cover it with Lipstick

I'm sick of looking in the mirror

Cause my mirror sees right through

MAC aint got enough concealer

To hide how much I'll miss you

I've gotta cover up my hurt

No more - getting burnt

I really need'a let you go

Cause my heart can't take no more

I've tried One two three too many times

(To walk away)

I've heard one two three too many lies

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out that door

That I don't love you anymore

I gotta play the part act like it aint killin' me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

And cover it with Lipstick

It's the hardest role I'll ever have to play

It's the hardest lie I'll ever have to make

To look you in the eye

And not break down and cry

When I say goodbye

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out that door

That I don't love you anymore

I gotta play the part act like it aint killin'me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

So I gotta pretend that I'm not gonna miss you

I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out that door

That I don't love you anymore

I gotta play the part act like it aint killin'me

Gotta play the part when you try stopping me

Hide what's written on my face

Dig deep in the makeup case

And cover it with Lipstick
