See the look on my face From staying too long in one place But every time I try to leave I find I keep on stalling Feel like a big old stone Standing by a strength of my own But every time the morning breaks I know I'm closer to falling I'm all out of love, all out of faith I would give everything just for a taste But every thing's here, all out of place Losing my memory, saving my face Saving my face, saving my face Saving my face I'm listening to what you say Even though I look the other way But you could never understand The feeling of what I'm leaving I'm all out of love, all out of faith I would give everything just for a taste But every thing's here, all out of place Losing my memory, saving my face Saving my face Leave it all to me, I will do the right thing Baby, I'll be everything I need Leave it all to me, I will do the right thing Baby, I'll be everything I need Leave it all to me, I will do the right thing Do the right thing I'm all out of love, all out of faith I would give everything just for a taste But every thing's here, all out of place Losing my memory, I'm losing the best of me I'm all out of love, all out of faith And I would give everything just for a taste But every thing's here, all out of place Losing my memory, saving my face Saving my face, saving my face Saving my face, saving my face I'm all out of love, all out of faith And I would give everything just for a taste But every thing's here, all out of place Losing my memory, saving my face
