Name

I remember when the tears were falling all around

I held you close throughout the storm and never let you down.

I kept you warm; you made me strong so I would fight for you.

We were lost in love together, nothing the world could do.

There was something in your eyes made your heart grow cold.

Left me standing in regret, in a prison of my soul.

I once longed to be with you to the end of our lives

But now I’m all alone again in the bitterness of the night.

 

You've gone down a road that I can’t follow.

Become a person I can’t be

 

(chorus)

What is your name?

Where is your place?

How did you get so far,

And why are you in my face?

How did you go from being so strong

To empty and small inside?

How close did you come?

When did you lose your way?

 

Now don't know what I'm supposed to do.

You took everything from all I was to you.

How can I begin to start again withing this storm?

Without your love, I have no one to keep warm!

I've become

Everything

That you ever wanted me to be

I have lied

To myself

That you'll be my one-on-one and everything to me.

Now I have to change the way I see the past!

Learn a lesson for the future in these memories turned to ash!!!

 

(chorus)

 

We used to be the strongest of them all

And never ever would we fall

But now… as I’m standing here with you,

I can see you through and through

You are not who I remember

And now I need to know

What happened to you?

When did you lose your way [what is your name….]

 

(chorus)

 

I can feel you in my mind

Breaking apart all I left behind.

But a stain still lies within my heart

Reminding me of how we fell apart.
