I was always blue behind the red blood stain on my
lips You were always green with envy Saw right through the tenderness
We were like a California sunset Faded to die any minute
Getting rid of you might be the best thing I ever did
* And I was seeing us in a silent movie Taking off our gloves like a violent crime scene
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me Oh honey
** But I know when to run, run, run I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run When my makeup does When my makeup does
And I know when to run, run, run I know when to run, run
And I know when to run, run, run When my makeup does When my makeup does
I was always blue behind the black mascara That I cried
You could be as sweet as honey But I knew the darkness in your mind
We were like a gorgeous bed of roses Ready to die any minute
Getting rid of you might be the best thing I ever did
( * , ** )
And I know when to run, run, run I know when to run, run And I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does When my makeup does
