I shall go take off this smeared make up
Try and save as many tears as I might
Gather and hide them in a safer place
Try not to see you
For who you really are
Lying to please this
Hurted shattered heart
Hide that your words
Sting more then your fist
Home again, must not have went well
And as pretty as I did myself
To only make you look better
Yet flirtatious glances
Were all stolen
I saw
Try not to see you
For who you really are
Lying to please this
Hurted shattered heart
Hide that your words
Sting more then your fist
It's this, us
a question to how
Whispered voices aren't calming
Shouted blows to my me
Are starting to show
Starting to hurt
Try not to see you
For who you really are
Lying to please this
Hurted shattered heart
Hide that your words
Sting more then your fist
I'll tell you
You can have her
As an after thought
As a piece of bitter apple pie
Just lie to me
Tell me no more bruises
Squeeze me in a hug
Shatter my belief
That our love ran away
And I'll look the other way
Try not to see you
For who you really are
Lying to please this
Hurted shattered heart
Hide that your words
Sting more then your fist
Just so that our hands can be as one
That you'll be the presence that stands beside me
With a understanding of a false love
I'll rather have, then not have you at all
