"A woman who's been quiet is a woman with a plan."
The fourth chapter of AFTER THE STORM — Delilah Raine's debut soul-blues EP.
ABOUT THE SONG
"Lipstick on the Lies" is the fourth chapter of Delilah Raine's debut EP — a smoky, simmering soul-blues confrontation about discovering the betrayal. Perfume on his collar. Hairpins that aren't yours. A 2 AM phone he doesn't want you to see. This isn't a song about heartbreak. This is a song about a woman who's done crying — and ready to walk. Cool calculation in every note.

LYRICS
Came home Tuesday, smelled the perfume
On the collar of your white shirt
Said it was your sister's
But your sister don't wear Dior
Found a hairpin in the bathtub
Wasn't mine, wasn't your kid's
And the way you laughed too loud
Told me everything you did
You think I'm blind, baby?
You think I'm dumb?
I been countin' all the lies
From the day you met someone
I see lipstick on the lies, boy
Red as Sunday wine
Thought you'd cover up the truth
But the truth don't hide
You been kissin' on her sweetly
While you swore that you were mine
I see lipstick on the lies, baby
And it's all over your design
Phone went off at 2 AM
You said it was a wrong call
But that smile when you read it
Wasn't wrong at all
Saw the message on your laptop
"Can't wait to see you tonight"
Yeah, I read every word, lover
And I memorized your lie
You think I'm soft, baby?
You think I'm slow?
I been savin' every secret
You don't even know I know
I see lipstick on the lies, boy
Red as Sunday wine
Thought you'd cover up the truth
But the truth don't hide
You been kissin' on her sweetly
While you swore that you were mine
I see lipstick on the lies, baby
And it's all over your design
Don't worry 'bout the silence
Don't worry 'bout the calm
A woman who's been quiet
Is a woman with a plan
I'll let you keep on lyin'
While I pack up every dream
And the next time that you kiss her
She'll taste a little bit like me
I see lipstick on the lies, boy
Red as Sunday wine
You can keep your sweet apologies
You can keep your time
'Cause I'm wipin' off the love now
Closin' every blind
And the lipstick on the lies, baby —
That's the last shade you'll ever find
