[Verse 1]
When I catch the lift to reach a higher floor
I always push the button to close the door
I'd rather run away from saying hello, oh
I'd rather be cold and wait for the bus
And there's no such thing as a stranger I trust
[Chorus]
I tried to put my make-up on, to cover up whats wrong
Doesn't stop it running down, with the thunder clouds, oh
I need to chill against the rubbish cans
And learn to live with dirty hands
I tried to put my make-up on, but I'm not fooling anyone
[Post-Chorus]
Didn't I know
Didn't I know
Why didn't I know?
Didn't I know
Why?
[Verse 2]
There's no confession when I'm afraid
(When I'm, when I'm afraid of the days)
I let my pride come and take the reigns
(My pride come and take the reigns)
Now you can offer a shoulder for me to lean, please
Thats what I need to give it away
'Cause I kept inside with a lock and a chain
[Chorus]
I tried to put my make-up on, to cover up whats wrong
Doesn't stop it running down, with the thunder clouds
I need to chill against the rubbish cans
And learn to live with dirty hands
I tried to put my make-up on, but I'm not fooling anyone
[Bridge]
Didn't I know
Why didn't I know?
Mascara scars all down my face
Didn't I know
Why didn't I know?
And I can't avoid the mess I've made
[Chorus]
I tried to put my make-up on, to cover up whats wrong, oh
Doesn't stop it running down, with the thunder clouds, oh
I need to chill against the rubbish cans
And learn to live with dirty hands
I tried to put my make-up on, but I'm not fooling anyone
[Outro]
Didn't I know
Why didn't I know?
Didn't I know
