How can I show my face?<br>
I'm a mess<br>
And I fear I may confess<br>
I'm a fool with or without her<br>
Make up what you will about her<br>
It's part of the game<br>
I can't say her name<br>
<br>
I've been left in the dark<br>
Shine a light<br>
Right in my eyes<br>
You'll never make me talk<br>
Alibis I must protect<br>
An alias you won't detect<br>
I won't place the blame<br>
I can't say her name<br>
<br>
I whisper it so soft and slow<br>
When I think no one's listening<br>
No one knows<br>
The thought of her so strong and slow<br>
Stays on my mind<br>
I won't ever let her go<br>
<br>
How can I go to sleep?<br>
When I know all too well I'm in this thing too deep<br>
It's all I can do not to shout about it<br>
I don't need your pity<br>
I'm powerless and proud<br>
And I don't feel ashamed<br>
Oh, but I can't say her name<br>

lyrics for
I Can't Say Her Name

How can I show my face?
I'm a mess
And I fear I may confess
I'm a fool with or without her
Make up what you will about her
It's part of the game
I can't say her name

I've been left in the dark
Shine a light
Right in my eyes
You'll never make me talk
Alibis I must protect
An alias you won't detect
I won't place the blame
I can't say her name

I whisper it so soft and slow
When I think no one's listening
No one knows
The thought of her so strong and slow
Stays on my mind
I won't ever let her go

How can I go to sleep?
When I know all too well I'm in this thing too deep
It's all I can do not to shout about it
I don't need your pity
I'm powerless and proud
And I don't feel ashamed
Oh, but I can't say her name
