Lipstick Lies and Polished Hate

by Emma Carnage   Jan 14, 2006


Just like sisters
Your house is mine
Finish my sentences
Best friends

That one small habit
Like nails on a chalkboard
Gets under your skin
You're still almost perfect

Tell me your lipstick lies
Show me your polished hate
You're my best friend

We'll never fight
Never leave each other
Always be like sisters
Stay together to the end

Smile less sincerely
Laugh a little shorter
Forget old jokes
Now you're not so perfect

Tell me your lipstick lies
Show me your polished hate
You're my best friend

Watch your favorite movies
Sing your favorite songs
Dance your favorite dance
We memorized it all

Disagree on something
Stop talking for two days
Don't bother calling back
You're just alright

Tell me your lipstick lies
Show me your polished hate
You're my best friend

Have a class together
Copy each other's notes
Share a joke or two
Think of the past

Eat at separate tables
Don't bother to say hello
Forget a birthday
You're just another name

Tell me your lipstick lies
Show me your polished hate
You're my best friend

Hit shoulders in the crowd
Don't bother to stop
Pass in the hall
Look the other way

Tell me your lipstick lies
Show me your polished hate
I don't know you
