Faces

Everyone is terrified
They pull themselves back from the line
When heart's king, ace is high.

I will be there when you fall
You've come to me cause I am strong
The one place the weak can hide
Is the one place I can't find.

You misunderstand me
When I'm saying I give up
I just can't escape these great expectations.

We're hardly moving
Do the means have no end?
I cannot fake it, I can't even pretend.

I've been told a thousand times
To turn that frown back into a smile
It's what the world needs right now.

I alone can't build you up
I can't hold your hand in the dark
Trust your own intuition
Your own legs you learn to run.

You misunderstand me
I've just figured out
You can't escape what you carry around

I'm not superstitious.
I've leaned for myself
What you cannot face will follow you around
