Lipstick Portrait

I put my makeup on
It's all just a cover up
A portrait with lipstick
I smile and nod at everyone
All while hiding what I really want
A preface I keep up
Smoke screen you can try to cut
All my thoughts do
Is travel right back to you

Need to find a way to break out
Get away from this make-believe
Tired of living a lie 
I don't want it any more
I want to run away
To get away To be with you
I want to escape to you

I speak my words carefully
Keep on deceiving everyone around me
Wondering do you see through it all
Can you tell my lies from the reality
Do you know what I am thinking
Be by your side in your arms
Want to run and leave it all behind
Can I keep this up without hurting
Tearing my self apart and melting

Need to find a way to break out
Get away from this make-believe
Tired of living a lie 
I don't want it any more
I want to run away
To get away To be with you
I want to escape to you

You are the comfort I seek at night
The warm thoughts in my mind
The truth that is to me
Without you I can't breathe
I don't know how much more
Theses pretense we have going
Our worlds so far apart 
You in yours and me in mine
Does she know what you feel
your smoke screen is up too

We have everyone fooled
They have no clue
It's just me and you
Lay in bed side by side 
Just our touch to comfort us
Our secret glances from across the room
No one will ever know until we break free
Out of our current Harsh reality
Until then we will wear our makeup

Need to find a way to break out
Get away from this make-believe
Tired of living a lie 
I don't want it any more
I want to run away
To get away To be with you
I want to escape to you

Painted portrait with lipstick
My escape is to you in my dreams
Cover up with make up
Only you can see the truth in me
