Checked my purse twice just to be sure, Came up empty but I locked the door— On the thought that tried to surface clean: Whose mouth left that shade in my machine? Pre-Chorus Keep the radio loud, eyes on the road, Denial’s easier than what I know. Chorus Makeup on the floorboard, and it’s not mine, Little piece of proof I can’t rewind. Could be nothing, could be everything— Found a compact wedged beneath the mat, Mirror cracked straight down the glass. One half shows me calm and still, The other knows and always will. I’ve been drowning out the noise, Pretending trust is just a choice— But objects don’t lie the way people do, And that shade of red was never you. Pre-Chorus Windows down, wind in my face, Can’t outrun what’s left a trace. Pre-Chorus Windows down, wind in my face, Can’t outrun what’s left a trace. Chorus Makeup on the floorboard, screaming the truth, Tiny little witness to what you’ll never prove. Could be careless, could be truth— Either way, I played the fool. Bridge No texts to find, no calls to trace, Just me, this mirror, and her painted face. You’ll come home clean, deny it all, But evidence don’t need your call. Final Chorus Makeup on the floorboard, ruby red and cold, Small enough to miss, too big to hold. I could toss it out and let it slide— But that’s the proof I’m done with lies. Outro Left it on the dash where you’d see, Walked away before you could sell it back to me.
