Cover Up

There's a face you show the world

Inside you're just a lonely girl

And you don't want nobody to see her

You're the one who acts so brave

But the one who's so afraid

And you wish you didn't have to be her

So put on your makeup

And make it through another day

And paint on the smile

And hide those tears away

Cover up, cover up but you can't

Cover up the lonely

Can't cover up the hurt you feel

Can't cover up the empty

The pain you're careful to conceal

Anyone can see it's a cover up

There's a place you hide your heart

So it won't get torn apart

And you don't want nobody to know it

You're the one who stands so tall

But the one who feels so small

And the one that's never gonna show it

Put on your makeup

Make it through another day

Paint on a smile

Hide those tears away

Cover up, cover up but you can't

Cover up the lonely

Cover up the hurt you feel

Can't cover up the empty

The pain you're careful to conceal

Anyone can see it's a cover up

Cover up, don't let nobody see

Build a wall that nobody can see you through

Hide away so nobody can reach you

Keep up the cover up

But you can't

Cover up the lonely

Cover up the hurt you feel

Can't cover up the empty

The pain you're careful to conceal

Anyone can see it's a cover up

Cover up, it's a cover up

Cover up, it's just a cover up

Cover up

Cover up, it's a cover up

Cover up, it's just a cover up

Cover up

There's a face you show the world

Inside you're just a lonely girl

And you don't want nobody to see her

But I see you
