Lyrics
I painted my face with darkness and took a picture 'Cause that's how I wanted my face to be
I portrayed myself with darkness in a photo because that's how I wanted my appearance to be.
And then when I grew a little I
As I grew older,
I tried to wash the dark away
I attempted to cleanse away the darkness from my image.
I tried smiling for the camera
I made an effort to smile for the camera.
I tried but nothing really happened
Despite my efforts, nothing significant changed.
Will you be there for my dark times
Asking if someone will support and be there during difficult and unattractive moments.
And for my ugly?
Specifically referring to challenging times or when feeling unattractive.
Will you be there for my dark times, my love?
Reiterating the question of support during dark times, addressing a loved one.
Will you be there for my dark times

And for my ugly?

Will you be there for my dark times, my love?
Repeating the question of support during dark times, expressing it as a form of love.
I ran for cover when you moved your heart and soul closer 'Cause that's when I thought I would need to flee
Describing a reaction of seeking shelter when emotional intimacy increases.
And then when I looked into the mirror I
Upon self-reflection, realizing the attempt to escape from oneself.
Realized I was running away from me
The acknowledgment of running away from one's true self.
I tried smiling for the camera
Attempting to present a positive image for the camera.
I tried but nothing really happened
Despite efforts, no significant change in the outcome.
