Like a car chase 
On the highway 
We were going nowhere real fast 
I let your tear my heart out 
I wear it on my sleeve now 
I thought I’d never take my foot off the gas 

You made me smear my makeup 
Nothing but dried, black mascara 
I’m letting it go… 

Tears won’t last forever 
Life only gets better 
When the world lets me down 
I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

Break my heart, it won’t matter 
I’ll piece it back together 
When the world lets me down 
I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 
I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 
I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 

I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

I’ll forgive you 
But I’d never kiss you 
You’ll miss my strawberry lipstick 
Yeah, I hope it hit you 
Just like a missile 
Promise you’ll never find a better chick 

You made me smear my makeup 
Nothing but dried, black mascara 
I’m letting it go… 

Tears won’t last forever 
Life only gets better 
When the world lets me down 
I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

Break my heart, it won’t matter 
I’ll piece it back together 
When the world lets me down 
I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

And I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 
And I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 
And I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 

I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

I’m gonna keep my head up, precious all 
It’s time I feel pretty all over again 
Whatever the cost, I’ll take a loss 
Yeah, it’s time that I get back to me 

Tears won’t last forever 
Life only gets better 
When the world lets me down 
I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

Break my heart, it won’t matter 
I’ll piece it back together 
When the world lets me down 
I’ll paint a smile on, 
Paint a smile on 

And I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 
And I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah 
And I’m gonna say 
Oh, oh woah, oh-oh, oh woah
