Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Powder and porcelain
Cracks you can’t see
I paint on a stranger
So you won’t see me
Laugh lines I never earned
Cheekbones carved from fear
I contour the corners
Where I disappear
[Chorus]
When the makeup’s gone
And it’s just my shaking hands
I’m a sentimental man
Who never learned to stand
I wash my face
And watch myself run down the drain
All that’s left is me
And I hate him just the same
[Verse 2]
Closet full of faces
Shades that don’t fit
Every brush a blessing
Every mirror a hit
You call me “put together”
You don’t see the glue
Mascara hides the water
But it can’t dam the truth
[Chorus]
When the makeup’s gone
And it’s just my shaking hands
I’m a sentimental man
Who never learned to stand
I wash my face
And watch myself run down the drain
All that’s left is me
And I hate him just the same
[Bridge]
I wish I could meet him
The boy under my skin
Hold him for a second
Say “you’re allowed to win”
But every time I try to
I flinch from who I am
So I reach for that old mask
And start again
[Chorus]
When the makeup’s gone
And it’s just my shaking hands
I’m a sentimental man
Who never learned to stand
I wash my face
Until the sink is streaked with shame
All that’s left is me
And I don’t know his name
