NameA Poem by AKProctorlyrics - written spring 2009And 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 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.
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," 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 © 2014 AKProctor |
