Lyrics
Cover Up
Battle scars from the night before
You don't think you can take much more
The hurt and the pain have worn you down
There's only so much the make up can cover up
Why do you stay at his request?
Why do you think you're second best?
Too scared to run, no where to hide
Living in fear makes you empty inside
(Chorus) So you cover it up for one more day
Tell yourself it will go away
Fool you mind and believe his lies
Look in the mirror, who do you recognize?
Broken glass shattered voices
Make you believe there are no choices
When people look you turn away
Hoping they won't notice, what would you say?
(Chorus) So you cover it up for one more day
Tell yourself it will go away
Fool you mind and believe his lies
Look in the mirror, who do you recognize?
Bridge- Don't accept what's going on
You must realize that it's time to move on
Don't fool yourself, don't back down
You must find the strength to stand your ground
(Chorus) So you cover it up for one more day
Tell yourself it will go away
Fool you mind and believe his lies
Look in the mirror, who do you recognize?
