"Mona Lisa" lyrics

Is Mona Lisa smiling
Or is there pain in her eyes?
Is it just an illusion
What is she hiding behind?
Was she tryin' to put on a show?
Not let Leonardo know
That in between the cracks of the brush strokes
Lies the truth only Mona Lisa knows

Hundred forty four shades of blue
None capture it in detail
It feels like you're on display at The Louvre
A portrait of a fairytale

So we cover the canvas like
The colours mask the pain
We only ever let them see
The picture that we paint

Is Mona Lisa smiling
Or is there pain in her eyes?
Is it just an illusion
What is she hiding behind?
Was she tryin' to put on a show?
Not let Leonardo know
That in between the cracks of the brush strokes
Lies the truth only Mona Lisa knows

Wonder how she kept that brave pose
While every flaw was exposed
Dark secrets hidden in every coat
Underneath masked in the shadows

So we cover the canvas like
The colours mask the pain
We only ever let 'em see
The picture that we paint

Is Mona Lisa smiling
Or is there pain in her eyes?
Is it just an illusion
What is she hiding behind?
Was she tryin' to put on a show?
Not let Leonardo know
That in between the cracks of the brush strokes
Lies the truth only Mona Lisa knows

Is Mona Lisa smiling
Or is there pain in her eyes?
Is it just an illusion
What is she hiding behind?
Was she tryin' to put on a show?
Not let Leonardo know
That in between the cracks of the brush strokes
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Is Mona Lisa smiling
Or is there pain in her eyes?
Is it just an illusion
What is she hiding behind?
Was she tryin' to put on a show?
Not let Leonardo know
That in between the cracks of the brush strokes
Lies the truth only Mona Lisa knows
