Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time I turn my head
Lovers kissin' everywhere
Fingers running down their thigh
They're just livin' the life (High)
Love is nothing but a cowboy
Shootin' up one life at a time
I'm just tryna nurse this cold heart
This cold heart of mine
[Verse 2]
Keep my head high, I'll survive
[Verse 3]
'Cause every day I put my warpaint on
I'm a warrior, I'll find another one
Step aside, I'm moving through
All by myself, I don't need you
A warrior, I put my warpaint on
Put my warpaint on
[Verse 4]
People like to call me cynical
Pessimistic when it comes to love
I'm not looking for a fucking miracle
I'm just looking for a sweeter drug (High)
Love is nothing but a cowboy
Shootin' up one life at a time
I'm just tryna nurse this cold heart
This cold heart of mine
[Verse 5]
Keep my head high, I'll survive
[Verse 6]
'Cause every day I put my warpaint on
I'm a warrior, I'll find another one
Step aside, I'm moving through
All by myself, I don't need you
A warrior, I put my warpaint on
Put my warpaint on
[Verse 7]
Hush now, I don't need you
Hush now, I don't need you
[Verse 8]
Keep my head high, I'll survive
[Verse 9]
'Cause every day (Every day) I put my warpaint on (I put my warpaint on)
I'm a warrior (Warrior), I'll find another one (I'll find another one)
Step aside, I'm moving through
All by myself, I don't need you
A warrior (Warrior) I put my warpaint on
Put my warpaint on
Yeah, yeah
