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

Lovers End - The Birthday Massacre

Below a COVER I like:
I Think We’re Alone Now
Awesome!
Another TBM fan!
Was just going to put a song of them this week.
TBM are pretty neat. I wouldn’t let my post hold you back from posting your preferred track!
Thanks, I may post later on, to space it out a bit. I may lose my patience and just post, hahaha.
[Verse 1]
Next phase, next craze, next “nothing new”
Got the pretty boy, beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy’s teeny toy heart in two
Turned him into a video kid like you
[Chorus]
I know we’re just pretending
There’s no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There’s no promise left to break
[Verse 2]
Shot the pretty boy, killed him on commodore
Need a new game, need a new “something more”
Got a new face, got a new way to score
Got a voice like something I’ve heard before
[Chorus]
I know we’re just pretending
There’s no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There’s no promise left to break
[Bridge]
The message misleading
We’re lying, we’re cheating
We’re only repeating
The motions preceding
[Outro]
I know we’re just pretending
There’s no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There’s no promise left to break
