Save Me

Call me up and I'll pretend to be just fine.
I've gotten good at lying to myself,
denial's on my side.
And days just drift away,
I shouldn't waste my time,
when I know you're on your own and on your way.

And I can't forget your face,
and I feel so out of place.
But it's hard for me to try,
It's hard for me to want this when you're gone.

Can I say,
I think it's just too hard to walk away?
'Cause you think things have changed.
Another misconception falls
along an empty line and now I'm
so far gone.
Won't you please save me?

And every night is just another bitter ending
to the way I thought this day would go,
I'm ending up alone.
And every inch I sit away from you
is the thickness of the tension I feel in the room.
I wish that I could go.

And I can't forget this place,
and I just don't want to face
this mess we've made of contradictions,
solemn lies and accusations we've thrown.

Well can I say,
I think it's just too hard to walk away?
'Cause you think things have changed.
Another misconception falls
along an empty line and now I'm
so far gone.
Won't you please...

All this is for everyone to see.
Nothing matters now because it's just you and me.
Would it make a difference if I turned and walked away?
Stop me if you think this would...
