KELLY CLARKSON
"War Paint"
(Joleen Belle / Nolan Lambroza / Julia Michaels)

Face to face but miles away
Building trenches out of empty spaces
Lay here next to me
And close the distance in between

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

We could 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
When we both know that we're here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake of our war paint

Scar to scar, I wanna know
Every story that you've never told
Don't shut me out
Don't think too much
Don't keep that barricade up

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

We could 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
When 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 heart, here I am, yeah

We could 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
When we both know that we're here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake of our war paint

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