weglobe - behind the makeup lyrics

[verse 1]
the cold cream smells like memories and cheap hotel soap
i wipe away the character, the artifice, the hope
there’s no one here to watch me now, no camera in the room
just the quiet hum of silence and the impending gloom
the cloth comes away smudged with black and shades of red
leaving just the thoughts that are spinning in my head

[chorus]
and behind the makeup, therе’s a girl who’s barely there
with tirеd eyes and messy hair
behind the makeup, there’s a truth i can’t outrun
that the person i’ve become is not the only one
who’s hiding in the mirror, trying to find her way
back to who she was before the spotlight stole the day

[verse 2]
i trace the lines that weren’t there just a year ago
the evidence of sleepless nights putting on a show
i used to love the transformation, the magic i could make
now every stroke of color feels like another small heartbreak
building up a fortress that i can’t escape
until i take it off again and face my own landscape

[chorus]
’cause behind the makeup, there’s a girl who’s barely there
with tired eyes and messy hair
behind the makeup, there’s a truth i can’t outrun
that the person i’ve become is not the only one
who’s hiding in the mirror, trying to find her way
back to who she was before the spotlight stole the day
[bridge]
maybe beauty isn’t something that you paint upon your skin
maybe it begins somewhere much deeper within
in the scars and imperfections, in the stories and the tears
in the quiet understanding that’s been growing through the years
that the girl behind the makeup, with her fragile, trembling hands
is the strongest one i’ve been, across all these lands

[final chorus]
and behind the makeup, there’s a woman standing there
with knowing eyes and wild hair
behind the makeup, there’s a truth i can’t outrun
but the person i’ve become and the girl i was are one
no longer hiding in the mirror, finally finding out her way
thankful for the spotlight, but grateful for the day

[outro]
behind the makeup
just me
finally free
