Say My Name

Drop my heart and say my name
And tell me how it’s not a game.
Break my heart and turn away
Because there’s nothing left to say.

Turn around and look at me
Tell me this is how it’ll be.
Turn around and walk away
Because the world fades to gray.

Run to me and tell me all
About how you’ll return my calls.
Run to me then journey on
Knowing I’ll be here when you’re gone.

Tell me all about how you feel
And that it’s something very real.
Tell me all about how you dream
When nothing is what it seems.

Turn around and say my name
And tell me how things stay the same.
Turn around and break away
Because it’s just another day.

Tell me to look at the sky
And tell me not to question why
The decisions that I want to make
In my dreams and when I wake.

Build me up and break me down
And watch me lie on the ground.
Tell me how wrong is right
When we’re together late at night.

Pick me up and watch me fly
In the sky until I die.
Pick me up and watch me smile
And know how it’s been a while.

Hold my heart and say my name
And I’ll tell you how it’s not a game.
Hold me close and don’t turn away
From the things that I want to say.
