    This is the one I was thinking of sharing, from Violet (2005) album :

    Play Dead - The Birthday Massacre

    [Verse 1]

    And boys are so cold; they speak without meaning

    The only time they talk is in their sleep

    And girls are a bore; their touch without feeling

    Their secrets always far too grim to keep

    And up until now, you’ve lived in their shadows

    Trying hard to please them

    But they’ll never change as long as they’re breathing


    [Chorus]

    Thinking hurts and thoughts don’t rhyme

    To those of us who’ve never tried

    To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

    And as our pretty faces die

    Our broken hearts will wonder why

    The makeup just won’t hide the scars of time


    [Verse 2]

    And boys are so cruel; so don’t let them find you tonight

    And girls are so vain; so put them behind you tonight

    I’ll cast you a spell, a magic where everyone plays dead forever

    And after tonight they’ll never remind you


    [Outro]

    Thinking hurts and thoughts don’t rhyme

    To those of us who’ve never tried

    To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

    And as our pretty faces die

    Our broken hearts will wonder why

    The makeup just won’t hide the scars of time
