It's routine, to love you
Establishing a pattern of expressing love repeatedly.
And over again, are you used to me?
Asking if the listener is accustomed to the speaker's affectionate gestures.
'Cuz I wear my makeup, to cover up inside
Admitting to using makeup as a facade to hide inner emotions.
I wear mascara so my sad eyes can lie
Explaining the use of mascara to conceal true emotions behind seemingly happy eyes.
I look good on the outside
Stating an outward appearance of looking good despite inner struggles.
And no one knows what goes on inside me
Highlighting the contrast between external appearance and internal emotions.
Fighting to stay happy
Revealing an ongoing internal struggle to maintain happiness.
Tryin to make ends meet
Expressing challenges in managing and balancing life.
And you're buying into my act, and now I'm lying in my bed
Noting that others believe the speaker's facade, leading to internal conflict.
'Cuz I made it and that's why
Linking the act of wearing makeup to achieving success.
I wear my make-up to cover up inside
Reiterating the use of makeup to conceal inner emotions.
I wear mascara so my sad eyes can lie
Continuing the theme of using mascara to hide sadness.
Tryin to find the new me inside
Expressing a desire to discover a new, authentic self beneath the facade.
Because my trauma's spilling outside
Revealing internal struggles becoming apparent to others.
Hope no one notices how I've changed
Hoping that changes in the speaker are not easily noticeable.
But I hope someone notices and sees I'm not the same
Expressing conflicting desires for both concealment and recognition of personal growth.
When I wear my makeup
Repeating the use of makeup as a cover for internal emotions.
To cover up inside
Reiterating the act of wearing makeup to hide inner turmoil.
When I wear mascara
Repeating the use of mascara to disguise sadness in the eyes.
To cover up my sad eyes
Emphasizing the external appearance in contrast to the concealed emotions.
I look good on the outside
Stating an external attractiveness despite internal struggles.
But no one notices what goes inside me
Highlighting the lack of awareness or understanding about the speaker's inner turmoil.
Inside me
Repeating the theme of concealed emotions within the speaker.
