Mm, oh oh
No no no no no
No no

I know the lipstick won´t fix it
But I´ve gotta put my game face on
I wish mascara could mask this
Until all the tears are gone
I´ve gotta paint the pain away
Make like - I´m okay
Pretend I don´t wanna stay
Act like this ain´t killing me

I´ve tried one, two, three, too many times
(To walk away)
I´ve heard one, two, three, too many lies

CHORUS :
So I gotta pretend that I´m not gonna miss you
I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do
I gotta pretend when I walk out that door
That I don´t love you anymore
I gotta play the part
(Act like it ain´t killin´ me)
Gotta play the part
(When you try stopping me)
Hide what´s written on my face
Dig deep in the makeup case
And cover it with lipstick

I´m sick of looking in the mirror
´Cause my mirror sees right through
MAC ain´t got enough concealer to hide how much I´ll miss you
I´ve got cover up my hurt
No more getting burnt
I really need´a let you go
´Cause my heart can´t take no more

I´ve tried one, two, three, too many times
(To walk away)
I´ve heard one, two, three, too many lies

CHORUS :
So I gotta pretend that I´m not gonna miss you
I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do
I gotta pretend when I walk out that door
That I don´t love you anymore
I gotta play the part
(Act like it ain´t killin´ me)
Gotta play the part
(When you try stopping me)
Hide what´s written on my face
Dig deep in the makeup case
And cover it with lipstick

It´s the hardest role I´ll ever have to play
It´s the hardest lie I´ll ever have to make
To look you in the eye
And not break down and cry
When I say goodbye

CHORUS :
So I gotta pretend that I´m not gonna miss you
I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do
I gotta pretend when I walk out that door
That I don´t love you anymore
I gotta play the part
(Act like it ain´t killin´ me)
Gotta play the part
(When you try stopping me)
Hide what´s written on my face
Dig deep in the makeup case
So I gotta pretend that I´m not gonna miss you
I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do
I gotta pretend when I walk out that door
That I don´t love you anymore
I gotta play the part
(Act like it ain´t killin´ me)
Gotta play the part
(When you try stopping me)
Hide what´s written on my face
Dig deep in the makeup case
And cover it with lipstick
