[Verse 1] Taken from this world Before I learned my name No one wants to hold it No one says the blame I had tiny hands I had a folded cry You chose the smoke again And I was left to die What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? I was just a baby Now I’m just a song [Chorus] Why was my death so quiet? Why was my death so small? Your need was in the doorway And I took the fall Why was my death so quiet? Why do you look away? I was just a baby Say my name today (say my name today) [Verse 2] You counted pills in secret I counted ceiling cracks You kept feeding the poison I never got you back Now the room stays still But my shadow won’t sleep It knocks from the corner It lives in everything you keep What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? I was just a baby Now I’m just a song [Chorus] Why was my death so quiet? Why was my death so small? Your need was in the doorway And I took the fall Why was my death so quiet? Why do you look away? I was just a baby Say my name today (say my name today) [Bridge] Don’t turn my face to silence Don’t bury me in shame A child should be remembered Not hidden by your name If you can still hear me Then answer for the ache Who held me when I needed? Who chose me too late? [Final Chorus] Why was my death so quiet? Why was my death so small? Your need was in the doorway And I took the fall Why was my death so quiet? Why do you look away? I was just a baby Say my name today (say my name today)
