I’m chipping away at my nail polish
You’re chipping away at my smile
I said come on in
You said let me stay for a while

But now the polish is dry
The alarm keeps going off
You don’t seem to get the hint
So I have to act like I’m tough

Nail polish love
I paint on a smile; you paint on a laugh
Nail polish love
You’re the color I hate that I have
Go back to your own world
Just let me free
Nail polish love
Apply, chip off, repeat

There are only so many layers
The love doesn’t go very deep
I keep putting it on and taking it off
(So) Don’t think I’m yours to keep

Nail polish love
I paint on a smile; you paint on a laugh
Nail polish love
You’re the color I hate that I have
Go back to your own world
Just let me free
Nail polish love
Chip off, touch up, repeat

Bridge:
How many times do I have to trick myself
Into thinking I’ll be fine
Why do I keep telling everybody else
Believe me he’s not mine

Nail polish love
I paint on a smile; you paint on a laugh
Nail polish love
You’re the color I hate that I have
Go back to your own world
Just let me free
Nail polish love
Chip off, cover up, repeat
