Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She walks in wearing borrowed thunder
Boots that have survived the street
Laughs like nothing ever touched her
Keeps every bruise beneath her sleeve
She can turn a locked door honest
Make a room sit up and stare
But tonight beneath the bathroom promise
There's a tremble hiding there
[Pre-Chorus]
One tear squeezed out, then another lost its way
Black silk trails beneath her eye
She says the mirror must be playing games
But I know exactly why
[Chorus]
Make up reasons to cry, my diamond in the rough
You don't have to hold the whole world up
Let the mascara run, let the armor come undone
Your gentle soul is not a weakness, love
You shine brighter when the darkest room is full
Make up reasons to cry, if that's what you need tonight
[Verse 2]
She keeps spare change in a flower jar
And letters tied with kitchen string
Feeds the stray cat by the corner bar
Pretends it doesn't mean a thing
She'll take a punch for anyone she loves
Then apologize for bleeding through
Hard as nails from the outside up
Soft as the hands that pull me through
[Pre-Chorus]
One tear squeezed out, a tiny silver flare
Down a cheek she tried to hide
She says the smoke got in her eyes again
I say, you can stop the lie
[Chorus]
Make up reasons to cry, my diamond in the rough
You don't have to hold the whole world up
Let the mascara run, let the armor come undone
Your gentle soul is not a weakness, love
You shine brighter when the darkest room is full
Make up reasons to cry, if that's what you need tonight
[Bridge]
Cry for the dress you never wore
Cry for the train you missed at four
Cry because the dog came home
Cry because you made it on your own
Cry for the child you had to outgrow
Cry for the hands you couldn't hold
No one gets to call you small
For finally feeling it all
[Final Chorus]
Make up reasons to cry, my diamond in the rough
You don't have to hold the whole world up
Let the mascara run, let the armor come undone
Your gentle soul is the strongest thing you've got
You shine brighter when the darkest room is full
Make up reasons to cry, let the whole night testify
Hard as nails, but heaven-soft inside
[Outro]
One tear squeezed out, and the room turned gold
She wiped her eyes, but left the story told

dramatic alternative pop with a dark piano-led verse, restrained electronic pulse, gritty live drums entering at the pre-chorus, wide distorted guitars and cinematic synth layers opening the chorus, intimate female alto verses rising into a powerful emotional belt, crisp modern production with a dry close vocal and expansive chorus, strong dynamic drops before the final hook
