Kelly Clarkson – War Paint Lyrics

Face to face but miles away
Building trenches out of empty spaces¹
Lay here next to me
Enclose the distance in between²

I’ll take off yours if you take off mine
Reveal the things that we’re trying to hide³
Take off yours if you take off mine
Take off mine, yeah

‘Cause we would be beautiful without our war paint⁴
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break⁵
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line
We both know that we’re here on the same side⁶
We could be beautiful without the mistake of our war paint⁷

Scar to scar, I want to know every story that you’ve never told⁸
Don’t shut me out, don’t think too much
Don’t keep that barricade up⁹

I’ll take off yours if you take off mine
Reveal the things that we’re trying to hide
Take off yours if you take off mine
Take off mine, yeah

‘Cause we would be beautiful without our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line
We both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake of our war paint

So hold me close and kiss my skin
Don’t be afraid, let me in
I’ll hold you close and take your hand to my heart¹⁰
Here I am, yeah

‘Cause we would be beautiful without our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line
We both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake of our war paint

‘Cause we would be beautiful without our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line
We both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake of our war paint
Our war paint¹¹
