The Boy Who Can't Be Named

I see the dresses in my closet The ones you never saw me wear I see your birthday gift forgotten Like I didn't even care I see your flowers left abandoned When did I become so cold? 'Cause damn he did some damage That's out of your control I only realize as you walk away The first tear rolling down my face There's so much that I didn't say But you were always going to be second place I tried to love you But all I seemed to give you was the pain Of who came before you Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named You would drive across the country Just to walk up to my door And every time you'd be there I'd just say I've gotta go I only realize as you walk away The first tear rolling down my face There's so much that I didn't say But you were always going to be second place I tried to love you But all I seemed to give you was the pain Of who came before you Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named Cause I'm as closed as a book Locked in a drawer Key in the ocean On the sea floor A thousand feet down You'll never find me And all I can say Is that I'm sorry I tried to love you But all I seemed to give you was the pain Of who came before you Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
