Lyrics
Under The Make-Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is how it ends
Each on our own
Unless we pretend
Meanwhile our hearts turn to stone
Shaped by wind
Boulders slowly molded over time
Here within
I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
Let all the worry
Vanish away
I want to hold you
Like it’s the first time
Like you were still mine
If you wanted out
Didn’t I let you go
If you wanted in
Didn’t I make it so
It could be
Tenderness escapes so easily
I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
Let all the worry
Vanish away
I want to hold you
Like it’s the first time
Like you were still mine
I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
Let all the worry
Vanish away
I want to touch you
Like it’s the first time
Like you were still mine
I, I want to see you
Under the makeup
