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
