lyrics

I was used to a bare face
Never let any emotions trace
more than a wrinkle in space
until our love began lingering
You were a variable dose
Out of control coolly composed
always each element you chose
made you into this bigger thing

You showed me makeup
Tenderly slowed my rush
Held up a mirror to my cup
Handed over your cleanest brush
Showed me how your cover-up
hides your holler in its hush
Makeup took more than a minute
Makeup might run but you didn't

You were used to a blank wall
Meant to meander and sprawl
but still trying to stand up tall
when it wasn't even necessary
I tried on primer put on paint
as I lied about never and ain't
you held the patience of a saint
so that camouflage seemed less scary
