Verse 1

The silence wakes up, from under your make up

A tear bleeds the armor off of your face

And blue is now leaving, your face behind bleeding

As it dances it's way past your lips

And the words still remain, as your eyes cringe in pain

An attempt to keep your cool

A tear hits your tongue, as your world comes undone

And everyone around you pretends that they care

Chorus

Breathing in has never been so hard

And closing your eyes has never felt so right

You were never one to make a scene

But that doesn't matter tonight

Verse 2

I trace the lipstick, for anyone who missed it

Back to it's home smeared across your face

Unanswered phone calls, well they don't solve

Anything except that you

Know you aren't wanted, that's not how you wanted

It to be

And you tears spell out, something you feel now

A five letter word, alone

Chorus

Bridge

You'll take your pride, leave it behind

Or at least what pieces are left

And you'll move on, move on

And hopefully you'll find some self-respect

In the bookstore on the isle

Filled with romance novels

You'll read your days away,

Remembering what you lost

Chorus
