Songtext War paint Lorrie Morgan

War paint

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
