I knew the lipstick won't fix it

But I gotta put my game face on

I wish mascara could mask this

Until all the tears are gone

I gotta paint the pain away

Make like I'm okay

Pretend I don't wanna stay

Act like this ain't killing me

I've tried 1 2, 3 too many times

I've heard 1 3, 3 too many lies



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

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part, act like it ain't killing 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 ain't got enough concealer

To hide how much I miss you

I've gotta cover up my hurt

No more getting burnt

I really need to let you go

Cause my heart can't take no more

I've tried 1 2, 3 too many times

I've heard 1 3, 3 too many lies



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

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part, act like it ain't killing 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

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part, act like it ain't killing 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

Gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do

I gotta pretend when I walk out the door

That I don't love you anymore

Gotta play the part, act like it ain't killing 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
