lyrics

I don’t know why there’s no sun up in the sky
These hazy days keep chasing me
I can’t go on if our love is truly gone
And all we had is just a memory
       
I thought what we had was real but now time has taught me so:
Wear these streaks of my makeup like lines of war paint—oh!
If what we had was really love
God, we sure fucked up

Please tell me why it’s a shame to sink and cry
There’s such a stigma ‘round the tears
If we go on saying love is surely gone
What will we have but empty years?

I knew a boy once, used to cut his skin and cry
He liked to wear makeup. Don’t know if he’s still alive
If all we want is just to love
God, we sure fucked up
       
Please tell me, oh tell me why!
Or maybe I don’t want to know - oh - oh

Do tell me oh, was it all just made for show?
These smiles never touch their eyes
I know they bleed when they’re cut, just like me
But the past has a talent for making us blind

The world keeps burning, yet we hold our fires high
Hide the bruise with make up, let hatred be our pride
If all we need is just to love:
Why?!
