Wasted Makeup
Dylan Conrique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't call me up ′cause you're bored and have regrets
There, I said it, you broke my heart
But after spending this time apart
I'm glad we ended ′cause since this started
On you, I wasted make-up
With every tear I′ve cried
For all this wasted time
And every lie and make up
Just helped me realise
On you
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
Don't text your ex when you′re on a date with me
Don't hit me up just to get into parties
There, I said it, you broke my heart
But after spending this time apart
I′m glad we ended 'cause since this started
On you, I wasted make-up
With every tear I′ve cried
Now I might never make up
For all this wasted time
And every lie and make up
Just helped me realise
On you
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
I don't wanna hurt no more
Time for me to shut the door
Need you to go, need you to go
Leave me alone, leave me alone
I don't wanna hurt no more
Time for me to shut the door
Need you to go, need you to go
Leave me alone
On you, I wasted make-up
With every tear I′ve cried
Now I might never make up
For all this wasted time
And every lie and make up
Just helped me realise
On you
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
On you, I wasted make-up, make-up, make-up
On you, I wasted
make-up, make-up, make-up
