Call Your Name

Don't take this worn defense of mine and call it broken

Habit of holding shards and claiming I was chosen

We weigh it all by the thorns we grow

Rest assured, I know I'm burdened by assumption

Call your name out high

Till I feel forever and not just the night

All that I have when the lights are out, telling you I've tried

But it figures, it dims when you're not in my sight

Please, can you tell me why?

Doesn't bother you none that I won't ever know both sides

Roll it back to our waters, only good when you're tied

Last time, you paid the price, same way I took advice

Rest assured, I know I'm burdened by assumption

Call your name out high

Till I feel forever and not just the night

All that I have when the lights are out, telling you I've tried

But it figures, it dims when you're not in my sight

Please, can you tell me why?

They don't write stories 'bout women like me

Say that the floor misses our feet

Don't pass go, no, straight to jail, please

Heard about euphoria, something 'bout release

Such things don't stay round here

We only know about tears

Counterfeit love, give just enough

Make me believe there's more to us

Than a conditional tie, but what's worse

Same old story, we all serve

Call your name out high

Till I feel forever and not just the night

All that I have when the lights are out, telling you I've tried

But it figures, it dims when you're not in my sight

Please, can you tell me why?

Call your name out high

Till I feel forever and not just the night

All that I have when the lights are out, telling you I've tried

But it figures, it dims when you're not in my sight

Call your name out high
