Saving Face

Tear through my skin Tell me what I'm like on the inside Cos I rarely let anyone else in Break through my skull Tell me what I'm thinking Cos I know that's what you're thinking Take it day by day Tell me if this mask I made hides my face (It's bullshit anyway) Cos every chance I get to make some kind Of room to grow A coward fills the space And I keep you at a distance All these lies I told to save face As if honesty was poison And I had no other way I was just a kid I let that coward in He found his home in emptiness Take it day by day Take it day by day Tell me if I change Tell me if I'm growing All these sleepless nights Where I would sit and stay awake I tell myself I'm different I hope someday I listen
