I refuse to wear ur makeup,

I refuse to look outside.

To look outside for your approval,

when it really should be mine!

I won’t cover up my tears, 

And I won’t cover up my bruises, 

I’d rather share them all with you, 

so that, you dare to share yours too!

Because what’s shared that’s half the pain, 

And the joy is doubled too. 

But to experience it all, 

You need to show your colors too!

And in this world its surely scary, 

cause they all talk about you, 

when you decide to show your bruises, 

and your vulnerable to,

to all these people that don’t dare to,

that don’t dare to show themselves,

that rather hide in their four walls, 

behind their phones and gossip talks. 

But I won’t cover up my tears, 

and I won’t cover up my bruises, 

I’d rather share them all with you, 

so that, you dare to share yours too!

Because what’s shared thats half the pain, 

And the joy is doubled too. 

But to experience it all, 

You need to show your colors too!

And somedays, I feel so sad:

When I look in pale pale faces, 

where the only life I see

is the red rouge that’s on their cheeks.

And their life story is driven 

by this show of all their talking, 

and their art of all this talking,

aimed at one thing called performing!

But deep down they fear so much, 

they fear so much to disappoint.

So, they reject their truest version,

but they hate themselves so much,

to not be brave, not brave enough. 

But I won’t cover up my tears, 

And I won’t cover up my bruises, 

I’d rather share them all with you, 

So that, you dare to share yours too!

Because what’s shared thats half the pain, 

And the joy is doubled too. 

But to experience it all, 

You need to show your colors too!

And the people that just follow,

all the rules of this shit show, 

they’ ll be the first to point their fingers, 

at your flaws, and all your bruises. 

It’s too much to bear for them,

when they see that you just do, 

that you just do what feels alright, 

when they really want it too. 

So, now you have a choice to make,

and every choice makes up this you.

And what you’d like to see in this world,

please really just start within you!

Now, I have shared with you my bruises

within this story of my song. 

And now I face all my regrets, 

that I had buried for so long.

That had been covered up in make up, 

in things I’ve said about you too,

when truly what I wanted,

was to be, yeah more like you!

This piece of courage to be loud, 

This piece of courage to be you,

This piece of courage to be rejected, 

and to be vulnerable too!

So I won’t cover up my tears, 

And I won’t cover up my bruises, 

I’d rather share them all with you, 

so that, you dare to share yours too!

Because what’s shared thats half the pain, 

And the joy is doubled too. 

But to experience it all, 

You need to show your colors too!
