VERSE 1: I know the lipstick won’t fix it But I’ve gotta put my game face on I wish Mascara could mask this Until all the tears are gone I’ve gotta paint the pain away Make like - I’m ok Pretend I don’t wanna stay Act like this aint killing me
PRE CHORUS: I’ve tried One two three too many times (To walk away) I’ve heard one two THREE too many lies
CHORUS: So I gotta pretend that I’m not gonna miss you I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do I gotta pretend when I walk out that door That I don’t love you anymore I gotta play the part act like it aint killin’ 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
VERSE 2: I’m sick of looking in the mirror Cause my mirror sees right through MAC aint got enough concealer To hide how much I’ll miss you I’ve gotta cover up my hurt No more – getting burnt
I really need’a let you go Cause my heart can’t take no more
PRE CH: I’ve tried One two three too many times (To walk away) I’ve heard one two THREE too many lies
CHORUS: So I gotta pretend that I’m not gonna miss you I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do I gotta pretend when I walk out that door That I don’t love you anymore I gotta play the part act like it aint killin’ 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
BRIDGE 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
End CHORUS: So I gotta pretend that I’m not gonna miss you I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do I gotta pretend when I walk out that door That I don’t love you anymore I gotta play the part act like it aint killin’ 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 I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do I gotta pretend when I walk out that door That I don’t love you anymore I gotta play the part act like it aint killin’ 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
