Original Song- Lipstick Lies by Meg Kathleen (Summer Songwriting Challenge song #1)

Summer Songwriting Challenge song #1! My goal for this week was to vary strumming patterns in the song to make it sound more interesting.

Ok background on the song- Appearances can be deceiving. Just because someone is beautiful doesn't mean their life is perfect. In this song i am describing a girl who uses her looks to coverup her tough life, and flirts with guys to feel the love she is lacking in her life. Heavy stuff, I know. p.s. sorry for the ridiculously long description!

lyrics:
Jet black liner and mascara eyes
a little bit of blush and a lipgloss tube
Painting on your face its a pretty good disguise
cuz such a pretty girl can't have an ugly life

But you're fooling everyone but me
I see right through your lipstick lies
You can try to play me your facade
But I can see easily through your big brown eyes
maybe if you let me in with some soap and a cotton swab
we can find that beautiful girl, yea when
the makeup comes off

You flash that smile and you flip that hair
Loving the attention and the way they stare
cuz if no one loves you at least some boys want you
gotta find the love somewhere

But you're fooling everyone but me
I see right through your lipstick lies
You can try to play me your facade
But I can see easily through your big brown eyes
maybe if you let me in with some soap and a cotton swab
we can find that beautiful girl, yea when
the makeup comes off

Underneath it all, underneath the layers of coverup
I know there's a girl who's so afraid to show that
all the ways that people see her, all the ones who want to be her
have been fed

lipstick lies, lies, lies x4

Yea she fooled everyone but me
They ate up all her lipstick lies
She tried to hint at her facade
But she was scared to reveal her watery brown eyes
maybe if she'd let me in with some soap and a cotton swab
we'd have found that beautiful girl, that was there when
the makeup came off

Jet black liner and mascara eyes
a little bit of blush and a lipgloss tube
