Make Up - The Script

Blood print stains on the floor of a powdered room

Cracks in the mirror starting to show too soon

Mascara lines streaming down her face

Her cocaine lipstick smile is such a waste

On the floor, she’s almost dead

She remembers the words that her father once said

No, you don’t need make up to cover your face, love

You’re beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself, you’re doing me

proud

No, you don’t need make up to cover your scars up

You’re beautiful now, within and without, and never forget you’re doing me proud

She’s locked up in a prison made of thoughts

She puts no worth on anything she’s got

'Cause no one believes that she was born this way

And heaven knows that God don’t make mistakes, no

On the floor, he’s almost dead

He remembers the words that his father once said

No, you don’t need make up to cover your face, love

You’re beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself, you’re doing me

proud

No, you don’t need make up to cover your scars up

You’re beautiful now, within and without, and never forget, you’re doing me

proud

He’s beating himself up before he’s even leaving the house

He’s driving himself nuts, in case we’re finding him out

Yeah, he knows what society thinks

When they see this man dressing so pretty in pink

He’s always loved to play dress up

But daddy’s got something to say

«You're not a screw up, boy, no more hiding away»

But she’s a queen in the skin of a king

Never happy who she is, that’s the saddest fucking thing, yeah

No, you don’t need make up to cover your face, love

You’re beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself, you’re doing me

proud

No, you don’t need make up to cover your scars up

You’re beautiful now, within and without, and never forget, you’re doing me

proud

Oh, find someone who smears your lipstick

And keeps your mascara dry

If somebody’s got you crying

Make sure that they taste your joy

No, you don’t need make up
