Every time you Say My name
Do I have it written on my face?
It's a feeling I don't embrace.
To hurt some one the way you do.
What if it was to happen to you?
Would it make you feel like me?
Would it make you very unhappy?
Let me tell you how it makes me feel.
I feel like hiding and crying.
And like my life means nothing at all.
Can you try to see my pain?
The pain you have caused inside.
Why I hang my head in shame.
Every time you say my name.
Because I know nothing nice will follow.
Did it make you feel happy to make me cry?
To know that you hurt me so.
Do you even want to know?
Why I hang my head in shame.
Every time you say my name.
Because I know nothing nice will follow.
When will you finally grow up?
And see everything you have done to me.
When will you feel like I do?
So desperate and unhappy.
Why I hang my head in shame.
Every time you say my name.
Because I know nothing nice will follow.
I have forgiven you for the past.
Will this niceness from you last?
I am glad you said you're sorry.
Now I see a little piece of me reflecting off of you.
I saw you hang your head in shame.
When you had said my name.
And then something nice did follow.
I now can forgive.
Everything you ever did.
Because I see what you had done to me.
Had come back on you and made you feel it too.
