about

music for walking through an aspen grove.

lyrics

save face by alexa wildish


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
