Saving Face - Curbside

Don’t push me

I’ve been pushed around my whole life so now I know

How it feels to strum the last chord of your life and let it go

And how no one really cares but how they all act to relate

But you knew it all, and you’ll get it right

Because you’ve been watching this whole thing go wrong

Never once did you turn it down

Or ever had to hear the sound

Of anyone who would try to save face

I’m saving what’s left

Of scattered torn up pieces of a speech you once gave me

Saying we won’t live to know that we were wrong

We won’t live to be

Don’t trust me

I’ve been lied to my face as they look into my eyes

And they don’t seem to get worried when I do falsely reply

About how no one really cares but how they all act to relate

But you knew it all, and you’ll get it right

Because you’ve been lifting the whole weight

Silently waiting for someone to help you down

You’ve been working your whole life trying to get it right

In this mass-hysteria

And somehow I’m about to

If I could take every word back now

If I could spread these ashes down

Upon a world that’s never seen your face

Somehow that’s better than this one now

Never once did you turn it down

Or ever had to hear the sound

Of anyone who would try to save face

I’m saving what’s left

Of scattered torn up pieces of a speech you once gave me

Saying we won’t live to know that we were wrong

We won’t live to be
