"Makeup" lyrics

Sometimes I think 'bout that time I lost fifteen pounds
I couldn't keep anything down
Everyone said that they thought that I never looked better
Truth is I thought that I've never looked better
Am I writing my story or is my story writing me?

Do I hate my body 'cause my mother hated hers?
Bet I can't control my temper 'cause my daddy never learned
Could I make love last forever? My parents never could
Will I ever know the difference between good enough and good?
Can you change the way you're made up?
If you scrub it hard enough
Can you ever wash off what's in your makeup?
What's in your makeup

Will my lipstick ever be a bright enough shade of red?
To silence the voice in my head
Is my anxiety all of me or just a thread?
I pull it 'til there's nothing left
Is cover girl just a cover up? The girl I don't wanna see

Do I hate my body 'cause my mother hated hers?
Bet I can't control my temper 'cause my daddy never learned
Could I make love last forever? My parents never could
Will I ever know the difference between good enough and good?
Can you change the way you're made up?
If you scrub it hard enough
Can you ever wash off what's in your makeup?
What's in your makeup

Is my mascara running 'cause of what's running in my blood?
Am I just this way or can this be just the way I was?

Does my mother hate her body 'cause her mother hated hers?
Bet I can't control my temper 'cause my daddy wouldn't learned
Could I make love last forever? My parents never could
Will I ever know the difference between good enough and good?
Can you change the way you're made up?
If you scrub it hard enough
Can you ever wash off what's in your makeup?
What's in your makeup
