War Paint

You come in while I'm sitting at the mirror

You want to say you know that I look nice

I sit in desperate silence and I listen

And with a cutting eye,you know you'd better look twice

''cause I'm putting on my war paint

I'm on the path again

And before you say it looks great

You'd better look again

Red is for the anger that you put me through

And for all those nights I felt alone,will see a shade of blue

I'll add a dash of yellow for the power that you've been

And the black will be your night ahead

And my shadow in your bed

I'm putting on my war paint

There's nothing you can say to make it better

And there's no apology to change my mind

I guess I could have sent a "Dear John" letter

But it's written on my face,it's war paint time

''cause I'm putting on my war paint

I'm on the path again

And before you say it looks great

You'd better look again

I'm putting on my war paint

I'm on the path again

I'm putting on my war paint

I'm on the path again

I'm putting on my (War Paint)

Red is for the anger that you put me through
