I was always blue behind the red blood stain on my lips
You were always green with envy, saw right through the tenderness
We were like a California sunset faded to die any minute
Getting rid of you might be the best thing I ever did

And I was seeing us in a silent movie
Taking off our gloves like a violent crime scene
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
Oh honey

But I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does
When my makeup does

And I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
And I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does
When my makeup does

I was always blue behind the black mascara that I cried
You could be as sweet as honey, but I knew the darkness in your mind
We were like a gorgeous bed of roses ready to die any minute
Getting rid of you might be the best thing I ever did

And I was seeing us in a silent movie
Taking off our gloves like a violent crime scene
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
Oh honey

But I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does
When my makeup does

And I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
And I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does
When my makeup does

I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
When my makeup does
When my makeup does
