how could i just walk away?
save my face for another day
how could i just walk away?

what is it you said that's got my stomach all in knots?
you always throw these daggers when we talk
i want to tell you exactly where i stand
i want to know exactly what you meant

my head is spinning as i'm racing down the hall
my heart is racing because we're spinning out of control
trying hard to understand the way you feel
it's like an art i haven't mastered yet but still
i'm trying to so forgive me if i'm not quite with you

how could i just walk away?
save my face for another day
how could i just walk away?

i won't pretend that i know just what to say
because i'm a mess when i try to talk this way
i'll try hard not to think my thoughts out loud
you won't believe all the things that leave my mouth
give me one more chance to get this right
i'll probably break your heart again tonight
we'll be better when we're both not so worked up
give me a minute so i can get this figured out

how could i just walk away?
save my face for another day
how could i just walk away?

i want to tell you that i really do care
take you in my arms and hold you here
finally slowing down

my head is spinning as i'm racing down the hall
my heart is racing because we're spinning out of control
trying hard to understand the way you feel
it's like an art i haven't mastered yet but still
i won't pretend that i know just what to say
because i'm a mess when i try to talk this way
i'll try hard not to think my thoughts out loud
you won't believe all the things that leave my mouth

how could i just walk away?
save my face for another day
how could i just walk away?
