Saving Face

[Verse 1]
I grew up performing on a stage
Stuck to the script, followed each page
I played my part in the show
I see all your faces in the crowd
I just want to make you proud
But your golden child lost her glow

[Chorus]
I'm learning to let go
Of the girl you know
Finally let my true self show
I'm trying to find my place
Trying to take up space
And I'm done saving face for you

[Verse 2]
Now as the spotlight fades away
And all my flaws are on display
I finally feel okay
'Cause I am more than what I achieve
I am more than what others believe
With or without the gold I know I'm me
I'm more than a role in your play
Flip the script 'cause I'll find my own way
With or without the gold I know I'm me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm learning to let go
Of that girl you know
Finally let my true self show
Oh I'm taking back the stage
Turning a new page
And I'm done saving face for you
