Blue

I was always blue behind the red-blood stain on my lips
You were always green with envy, saw right through the tenderness
We were like a California sunset, fated to die any minute
Gettin′ rid of you might be the best thing I ever did
And I was seein’ us in a silent movie
Takin′ off our gloves like a violent crime scene
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
Oh, honey

But I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
And I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
And I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does, when my makeup does

I was always blue behind the black mascara that I cry
You could be as sweet as honey, but I knew the darkness in your mind
We were like a gorgeous bed of roses, ready to die any minute
Gettin’ rid of you might be the best thing I ever did
And I was seein’ us in a silent movie
Takin′ off our gloves like a violent crime scene
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
Oh, honey

But I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
And I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
And I know when to run, run, run
When my makeup does, when my makeup does

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh, oh

And I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
When my makeup does, when my makeup does

Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
