[Intro] I simply can’t say your name Without my eyes turning pain to rain I don’t know how to put this into words I promise, it still hurts ⸻ [Verse 1] Once upon a time, we were growing out of our skin We were young, free and full of sin High and high on life We danced all night With shades in the neon light I was young, free and single Still my heart was too hurt to mingle I was already burned I thought I learned ⸻ [Chorus] I still can’t say your name It still feeds the poison in my veins I lost you in the moment I let go Now I stand here all alone Caressing your name carved in stone I still can’t believe you’re gone ⸻ [Verse 2] I met you at a party Hand in hand with a friend of mine You always ended up next to me You weren’t free, but you kind of stopped time We didn’t do anything wrong We made a bond We pretended like nothing It was so strong At least for me… still it felt wrong ⸻ [Verse 3] I could see it in your eyes He didn’t treat you right You were silent, he always wanted a fight One day you two knocked on my door We smoked and spoke Your face looked bruised and sore Then out of the blue he screamed Pretending he’d punch you Anger burning in his eyes You got scared, nowhere to hide I didn’t take him aside I exploded like never before All I remember is him broken on the floor The lion was a sheep I put his pride to sleep I put him in his place Told him face to face: “If you touch her again, I’ll have you erased.” It wasn’t a lie I saw a light in your eye You told him goodbye ⸻ [Chorus] I still can’t say your name It still feeds the poison in my veins I lost you in the moment I let go Now I stand here all alone Caressing your name carved in stone I still can’t believe you’re gone ⸻ [Verse 4] You came alone one late night With a smile and a candle light We made love to the daylight You seemed happy… Still I could see something wasn’t right We said goodbye I felt you didn’t wanna let me go Now I kinda know why You had already made up your mind I should have read the sign Damn I was blind ⸻ [Chorus] I still can’t say your name It still feeds the poison in my veins I lost you in the moment I let go Now I stand here all alone Caressing your name carved in stone I still can’t believe you’re gone ⸻ [Outro] If I said I loved you Would I be singing this song? If I had held you a little closer Would you still be gone?
