Last Night's Make Up
Shadows of Regret: Unveiling Last Night's Make Up
Lyrics
I gotta find my keys
Searching for my keys
Gotta try to slip out like a shadow
Attempting to leave discreetly like a shadow
Put my shoes on in the street
Putting on my shoes in the street
Before the sunlight ever finds your window
Getting ready before the sunlight reaches your window
Before you're asking me to stay
Before you request me to stay
And saying things you think
Saying things you believe are expected
You're supposed to say
Following social conventions
Here I am again in last night's make up
Presenting myself again with the remnants of last night's makeup
Messing up my skin messing up my heart
Causing damage to my appearance and heart
If I could wash you off
Expressing a desire to remove you from my life
Like last night's make up
If I could erase you like last night's makeup
Looking in the mirror wouldn't be so hard
Facing myself in the mirror would be less challenging
I could say that I was drunk
Suggesting a potential excuse of being intoxicated
But the truth is I was stone cold sober
Admitting to sobriety instead of drunkenness
I could say you led me on
Stating that you may have misled me
But it don't mean you love me
Clarifying that your actions don't necessarily imply love
When you say come over
Highlighting that an invitation to come over doesn't guarantee love
And what I thought was waterproof
Discovering that what I believed was resistant to emotion is not
Has left another mark on the
Leaving a visible mark on the pillow next to you
Pillow next to you
Indicating a tangible consequence of emotional experiences
What was beautiful and fun
Reflecting on something that was once beautiful and enjoyable
Sure looks sad in the sun
Noting the contrast and sadness when exposed to sunlight
