Jaded Rust

She always grabbed her red lipstick And put it on before she went on screen Ya you never knew what she was hiding Inside the pockets of her ripped up jeans Power lines, faded signs They haunted all the lives that she had faked Well slipped away inside the dreams of the fairy tales She laid upon those seams She always had a dream to be the Painter of her own masterpiece With the power of her paint brush To dust off all the jaded rust of youth She says she won't mind seeing All the lines on her face that she can't erase From the spotlight she chased But death do us part my dear I gotta get on out of this place Ya she always had a lot to say but she never knew What words to say to you Well she always had a lot to say but she never What words still rang true Ya you never thought of storms and howling wind When the sky was so blue Well you never knew he'd burn you too when the fingers Of his flames had touched you She always had a dream to be the Painter of her own masterpiece With the power of her paint brush To dust off all the jaded rust of youth She says she won't mind seeing All the lines on her face that she can't erase From the spotlight she chased But death do us part my dear I gotta get on out of this place Ya she got a lot of troubles on her mind Like all the men she left behind For the one who bides her time It would've been so nice to just leave it all behind The pills the foreign lines The drinks he poured on ice The claims of paradise The love you sacrificed But oh my dear, there's nothing left here But jaded rust Tired of clinging on to something that you Can't give up, tired of holding on to someone who You just can't love, tired of all the circles and the flames Jaded rust Tired of clinging on to something that you Can't give up, tired of holding on to someone who You just can't love, tired of all the games that we played Jaded rust Tired of clinging on to something that you Can't give up, tired of holding on to someone who You just can't love, tired of all the games that we played Ya she went and grabbed her red lipstick And put it on another round or two Those power lines and faded signs They haunted all the lives that she lived through Ya she only hoped she left her mark and hung on like jaded rust
