and boys are so cold they speak without meaning the only time they talk is in their sleep and girls are a bore their touch without feeling their secrets always far too grim to keep and up until now you ve lived in their shadows trying hard to please them but they ll never change as long as they re breathing thinking hurts and thoughts don t rhyme to those of us who ve never tried to find a face behind our lipstick smiles and as our pretty faces die our broken hearts will wonder why the makeup just won t hide the scars of time and boys are so cruel so don t let them find you tonight and girls are so vain so put them behind you tonight i ll cast you a spell a magic where everyone plays dead forever and after tonight they ll never remind you thinking hurts and thoughts don t rhyme to those of us who ve never tried to find a face behind our lipstick smiles and as our pretty faces die our broken hearts will wonder why the makeup just won t hide the scars of time
