"

And I do wonder all the time

how many lies I can get away with

And I do wonder every night

how many times I will put myself through this

Then I remember, it's not about me

that's the biggest truth I think I have to face

I'm just a little girl inside of all of this

I just want you all to know my name...

It began on a night like any other,

promises made with no way to keep them.

Innocent hands doing sinful deeds,

but in the name of love, you can get away with anything.

And all our thoughts were to the future

in a house filled with dreams
that we'll never ever know

And it's because of these things that we lost

I despise innocence and promise in everyone, so....

in everything, ya know.


But I can only put so much blame

on that boy with the five letter name

He admits to all his sins,

and I admit to apathy that did not exist,

I do not exist.

No, I do not exist.

Now, all these witty lines

to boys who only pass the time.

And all the broken hearts

that I knew I would destroy from the start

So light a flame, and I'll burn all night long.

What's your name? I could write you a song.
All the same, we're just moving along..
.Play the game, it's all the same,
so, tell me, what's your name?

In the corner, looking for a

reason to escape

I gotta warn ya, there's nothing for ya

if you choose to stay

In my opinion, you're only winning

at a losing game

'Cause if you're in it, it's the beginning

of you worst mistake (repeat)

So tell me, what’s your name?

So what's your name?

Don't you give me that look...

You don't believe me?

"A bright-eyed girl could never be so mean,"
you say?

Well, darling I would love for you

to show me your proof,

'Cause this heart is long gone, and

it's not coming back anytime soon....

anytime soon
anytime, anytime, anytime,
anytime soon.
