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

Play Dead - The Birthday Massacre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAMritvqfRw


[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
