⸻ Lyrics by Fanny @officialfannyalexandra Make-Up Smeared Eyes Verse 1 I held your photograph under bathroom light, Mascara rivers bleeding into night. Every promise I painted cracked with the glass, Every touch a bruise that never passed. You said love’s eternal, I wore it thin, A costume of skin that never fit in. Now every mirror is a funeral disguise, Staring back at me with make-up smeared eyes. Pre-Chorus And I can’t wash it clean, no matter how I try, The past won’t fade—it stains like dye. Chorus Painted tears don’t ever dry, Every truth’s a borrowed lie. You can’t unsee the pain I hide, Behind these make-up smeared eyes. Verse 2 I carved devotion into fragile veins, An altar built out of chemical chains. What was holy became a joke too cruel, A stained-glass heart, a shattered jewel. You begged me to heal, but I tore apart, I couldn’t scrub the black from my heart. So let the angels avert their skies, And let me drown with make-up smeared eyes. Chorus Painted tears don’t ever dry, Every truth’s a borrowed lie. You can’t unsee the pain I hide, Behind these make-up smeared eyes. Bridge If forgiveness is a language, I never learned to speak. If redemption was a doorway, I barred it with my grief. So take what you wanted, Take what you despise— Leave me the ruin Of make-up smeared eyes. Final Chorus (emotional climax) So hold me once, then let me break, No promise left for us to fake. If love was real, it’s long since died— I’m buried in these make-up smeared eyes. I’d give my breath, I’d trade my skin, To feel your arms and start again. But all that’s left are painted cries, A shattered soul with make-up smeared eyes. Outro (haunting, whispered/echoed) Make-up smeared eyes… (eyes… eyes…) Painted lies… (lies… lies…) A ghost in the glass… (glass… glass…) Nothing left inside.
