Cover it up in the bathroom
While you curse the mirror on the wall
You can change anything that you want to
But your hand is shaking when teacher calls

One desk away, I am aching to say
"What are you so scared of?"
You're putting on makeup
You don't believe in love
What are you so scared of?

Three cigarettes and a razor
Some old ticket stubs with autographs
You're looking for entertainment
But you're so bored with yourself
You never laugh

They're cheering outside
But you're rolling your eyes

What are you so scared of?
You're putting on makeup
You don't believe in love
What are you so scared of?

You got a long walk home
But you've got headphones
Your bangs in your eyes
You need a big shove

What are you so scared of?
You're putting on makeup
You don't believe in love
What are you so scared of?
