Say My Name? Bando Thankya. Say my name, (Mmm..Bando) say what comes first No mask, no script, let the truth disperse Let’s play a game, let the silence break Give me one real thought for honesty’s sake First thing in my mind is a room full of weather Sun on the ceiling, but the storm lasts forever I keep old memories tucked under my tongue Smile for the world while I’m coming undone Every anonymous voice wants to tell me who I am Every broken promise leaves a stain on my hands We took a wrong turn, then we doubled the road Called it love while we carried the load There was a time you were peace in my chest Now every conversation feels like another test We held on so tightly, we forgot how to breathe Sometimes love means knowing when it’s time to leave There’s never a perfect moment To say what we already know If the door has closed between us Why keep standing in the cold? Say my name, don’t hide behind the noise First thought in your head, let it rise up through your voice Give me a reason, something I can believe If love became a battlefield, let the wounded leave No right time for goodbye, but tonight can be the start I won’t keep an open doorway for a frozen heart Say my name, then let the whole thing end Some losses teach you how to live again Anger wants an answer, but I’m learning not to feed it A wound can call for another wound, but I don’t need it You pushed me to the edge, I came back with a flame Now I’m tired of losing myself just to win a game The little ones test my patience, still they pull me back They’re the brightest pieces in a world gone black Funny how the people closest can hurt you the most The ones you’d never leave become the ones you outgrow We scroll through perfect pictures, everybody looks alive But behind the polished window, people barely survive Comparison steals the joy, then leaves an empty room Everybody’s wearing flowers while they’re hiding all the gloom Say my name, don’t hide behind the noise First thought in your head, let it rise up through your voice Give me a reason, something I can believe If love became a battlefield, let the wounded leave No right time for goodbye, but tonight can be the start I won’t keep an open doorway for a frozen heart Say my name, then let the whole thing end Some losses teach you how to live again God, if You hear me, teach me not to mirror Every cruel reflection that has brought me nearer To becoming someone I was scared to be To mistaking coldness for security I’ve seen good hearts disappear into the night Seen pain turn children into soldiers of a fight But two wrong roads don’t make a home And a crowded room can still leave you alone So I’ll put down the weight I carried for too long Trade another angry answer for a healing song I may be lost, but I’m not beyond repair There’s still a little breath, so there’s still a prayer You sold your peace for a moment of escape Now every promise wears a different face You ask how I could leave, but you know what you did You buried every chance beneath the things you hid I miss who you were, and I hate what we became Both truths can live together without sharing the blame The world keeps spinning under midnight sounds People searching for a way to keep from going down I won’t waste my life trying to prove what is real To somebody committed to refusing to feel If you need to go, then go and find your way I’m choosing my tomorrow over yesterday Say my name, I know what I mean I’m more than the damage and the days in between Give me a reason, or give me the truth I’m done defending shadows that keep stealing my youth No right time for goodbye, but I’m ready to depart I can leave with a scar and still protect my heart Say my name, then let the whole thing end I’m not your enemy, I’m learning to be my friend Keep on rolling, keep on waiting Healing comes in waves Some nights hurt, some nights open Some nights make you brave Say my name Then set me free The game is over I choose me..(Bando7.be the logo ×2)
