I wouldn't cry for you, if you begged me to,
I wouldn't lift my head to greet you.
All the lies that you've woven, all the tears that have fallen,
And the crumbling of all I knew.
A faded photograph of it, the bitter taste of burning it,
Forever ended much too soon.
A fairytale grown old, a warm caress cold,
The sharpened steel of what you knew,
As you lord it all over me, I've broken history for all to see,
I wouldn't lie down and let you be.
A faded photograph of it, the bitter taste of burning it,
Forever ended much too soon.
Say my name and cry out loud,
Say my name to damn the crowd,
Say my name to save your soul.
I'll leave this living hell, I'll leave you where you fell,
I won't stop to look behind me.
I am more than this child you broke, more of man than this worn-out joke,
Head held high, held strong, unbound.
A faded photograph of it, the bitter taste of burning it,
Forever ended much too soon.
Say my name and cry out loud,
Say my name to damn the crowd,
Say my name to save your soul,
Say my name, I'll let you be,
Say my name, it isn't me,
Say my name to save my world.
