you put on your war paint, now i am wary

i paint my nails, stain my lips red as a cherry


he was the court and i was the jester

we both had hard feelings and left them to fester


put the makeup aside, i'm tired of games

i'll take the past and reduce it to flames


perhaps our fire is now perfectly matched

but can we hold on with no strings attached?
