You come in while i´m sitting at the mirror
And you want to say you know that i look nice
I sit in desperate silence and i listen
And with the cutting eye you know you better look twice
Chorus
Cause i´m putting on my warpaint
I´m on the path again
And before you say i look great
You better look again
Red is for the anger that you put me through
And for the nights i felt so lonely
You see a shade of blue
I´ll add a dash of yellow
For the coward that you´ve been
And the black will be the nights ahead
And my shadow in your bed
I´m putting on my war paint
There´s nothing you can say to make it better
And there´s no apology to change my mind
I guess i could have wrote a dear john letter
But it´s written on my face
It´s war paint time
Repeat chorus
I´m putting on my war paint
I´m putting on my war paint
Red is for the anger that you put me through
I´m putting on my war paint
And for the nights i felt so lonely you see a shade of blue
