Wipe off the makeup
Remove the mask from your face
You're not foolin' anyone
Cover the mirrors
You don't need your own embrace
It's time you step out of the sun
Wearin' your dresses and six inch shoes
Might make you look tall
But in the end you'll fall
Still even when given the chance to choose
I would have you no other way
I'm always there with you night and day
No world just you and me
Paintin' pictures of people we wish we could be
Promised you, always, that I would stay
We'll leave the past behind
For the hope of a future we someday might find
But I know you
And you'll follow through
Till tomorrow
Who will you be?
You'll wake up and see
Then run back to me
Can stomach the pain
But it still leaves pain in my stomach
The kind of thing I can't digest
Keep trying' to leave
I know it's insane that I come back
Needless to say, I'm not impressed
Believe me, I've tried to count the nights
Till I let you go
Have your own show
Still if it means you'll be up in lights
I just can't send you away
I'm always there with you night and day
No world just you and me
Paintin' pictures of people we wish we could be
Promised you, always, that I would stay
We'll leave the past behind
For the hope of a future we someday might find
But I know you
And you'll follow through
Till tomorrow
Who will you be?
You'll wake up and see
Then run back to me
I thought some self control
Could fix your broken-hearted soul
But you won't go down that way
Maybe you'll realize
If you just open up your eyes
That I don't know what to say
I'll always be there with you night and day
No world just you and me
Paintin' pictures of people we wish we could be
Promised you, always, that I would stay
We'll leave the past behind
For the hope of a future we someday might find
But I know you
And you'll follow through
Till tomorrow
Who will you be?
You'll wake up and see
Then run back to me
