Standard (EADGBE)

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 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

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

  -STOP-

When I say goodbye

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

END.
