The Mask Stays On (Reimagined Remix)

[Verse 1] I wore my grin like wire Held my chin up high Talked big in the hallway While my hands told lies You read me in a second Saw the crack beneath I kept my coat buttoned tight Kept my teeth in sheath [Pre-Chorus] Don't look too close I might fold Don't say my name I might show I learned to stand When I was broke I learned to laugh And never choke [Chorus] Save face, save face Keep it on, keep it on Save face, save face Till the dark is gone Save face, save face Bite down, breathe slow Save face, save face Don't let it show [Verse 2] My mouth was full of bravado My heart was full of smoke I shook your hand so steady While my backbone almost broke Every room had a mirror Every eye a blade I polished up my damage Till the whole thing looked brave [Pre-Chorus] Don't look too close I might fold Don't say my name I might show I learned to stand When I was broke I learned to laugh And never choke [Chorus] Save face, save face Keep it on, keep it on Save face, save face Till the dark is gone Save face, save face Bite down, breathe slow Save face, save face Don't let it show [Bridge] If I slip, catch me If I crack, don't stare I built this grin from spare parts And a borrowed dare One step, one breath One clean line I don't need perfect Just need time [Final Chorus] Save face, save face Keep it on, keep it on Save face, save face Till the dark is gone Save face, save face Bite down, breathe slow Save face, save face Don't let it show
