Save Face

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 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
