Wear the Makeup

Wear the makeup, act the part,

so no one sees your one true heart.

Keep it quiet and hide it good,

be the way you know you should.

 

Dress like this and talk like that,

even watch with who you chat.

Be on top and never fall,

keep risking to loose it all.

 

You have a part that no one can see,

 now it's time for you to believe,

that you alone can fix this mess,

no more crying, no more stress.

 

Remove the makeup, time for you.

be yourself that is true.

Shine bright and let it grow.

Be the you that will glow.
