Makeup Wont Cover My Red Face Today

Makeup won’t cover my red face today
All screwed up and tear stained, please stay away

The waterproof mascara has come off in bits
And the concealer melting round my red and swollen lips

Makeup won’t cover my sadness today
I guess I’ll look bad, just like my day.
