Say my name

You know, sometimes

Even when I smile - I'm drowning inside

In a pool of tears

All welled up hidden deep inside

He said I was pretty

And we talked for a while

He didn’t know my name

But he sure knew my smile

(Sometimes, although

You hear me laugh - I'm dying inside)

He told me about

His wounded old heart

His bent, broken love

was his shiny new art

Sometimes although

you touch me inside - I sit here so lonely

In a heap of fear

All huddled up - and cold inside

He talked of his love

And he held it so close

I tried to see what he had

But he held it too close

He looked in my eyes and

He touched my soft face

So I held his sweet hand

And tried to tell him my name

sometimes when

You watch while I dance -

I

can't

even

breathe
