Found your message on the bathroom glass
Red kiss mark you left before you passed
Out the door without a single word
Just that lipstick saying what i never heard
Six am and coffee's getting cold
Empty side of bed is getting old
Your perfume's still hanging in the air
But you're already gone and i'm still standing here
Should've seen it coming from a mile away
All those little signs i chose to ignore each day
Now i'm left with questions and no answers yet
Just a lipstick stain i can't forget
Lipstick on the mirror, that's all you left behind
No letter, no closure, just a mark to remind
Me of what we were and what we'll never be
Lipstick on the mirror staring back at me
Red like the roses you said you loved
Red like the warning signs i never thought of
Now i'm standing here trying not to cry
Lipstick on the mirror asking why
We had plans to leave this town someday
Build a house with room for kids to play
Talked about forever like it was guaranteed
Guess forever lasted three years for you and me
Your mama called and asked if you're okay
Guess you haven't told her you don't stay
Here anymore with the life we built
Now i'm drowning in this silence and this guilt
Should've listened when you said you need more time
Should've paid attention to the distance in your eyes
Now i'm picking up the pieces on my own
Wishing i could turn this house back to a home
Lipstick on the mirror, that's all you left behind
No letter, no closure, just a mark to remind
Me of what we were and what we'll never be
Lipstick on the mirror staring back at me
Red like the roses you said you loved
Red like the warning signs i never thought of
Now i'm standing here trying not to cry
Lipstick on the mirror asking why
Maybe i'll wipe it off tomorrow
Maybe i'll leave it there and wallow
In the memory of your face
Before you found a better place
Than here with me in this small town life
Guess i wasn't meant to be your wife
Lipstick on the mirror, that's all you left behind
No letter, no closure, just a mark to remind
Me of what we were and what we'll never be
Lipstick on the mirror staring back at me
Red like the roses you said you loved
Red like the warning signs i never thought of
Now i'm standing here trying not to cry
Lipstick on the mirror asking why
Lipstick on the mirror
That goodbye kiss you left here
Lipstick on the mirror
Still asking why you're not here
