Lyrics

As an hour passes by, I wait for the call, for your excuses
And no matter how I feel, I hold it inside so you won't leave
I built a dam to humble all this power, took a river down to a trickle
I'm disintegrating
I don't say what I need to say
 
But I'll save face, like I've learned to do
I won't get mad
I'll save face, I will shelter you
It hurts but you won't know how bad
Before we met I used to think
That I could trust my own compass
Then the luster in my eyes magnetized to you
Was mesmerized, turned by your pull
Fuzed my heart to yours
I'm disintegrating
I can't say what I need to say
But I'll save face, like I've learned to do
I won't get mad
I'll save face, I'll shelter you
It hurts but you won't know how bad
Maybe I'll let go
Of control
Maybe I won't
Maybe I won't, maybe I won't try
Underneath the silver moon, we stand so pale, hearts pried open
And you ask me for some time, to know your own self, to set us free
I hear the words that should have come from me
Petrified by what I most need
I'm disintegrating
I won't say what I need to say
So I'll save face cause it's all I know
And all I've been shown
I'll save face, and you'll leave me
And I'll be on my own
