War Paint lyrics

[Verse 1]

Face to face, but miles away

Building trenches out of empty spaces

Lay here, next to me

And close the distance in between

[Refrain]

I'll take off yours if you take off mine

Reveal the things that we're tryna hide

Take off yours if you take off mine

Take off mine

[Chorus]

Cause we could be beautiful without our war paint

Our war paint

And we could have it all once we let our walls break

Our walls break

Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?

When we both know that we're here on the same side

We could be beautiful without the mistake

Of our war paint

[Verse 2]

Scar to scar, I wanna know

Every story that you never told

Don't shut me out, don't think too much

Don't keep that barricade up

[Refrain] + [Chorus]

[Bridge]

So hold me close and kiss my skin

Don't be afraid, let me in

I'll hold you close and take your hand

To my heart, here I am

[Chorus] x2
