Into everything that makes me me
Simple, sometimes deep and always strong.
Goodbye I could not foresee.

‘You Don’t Know my Name.”
You about to miss a good thing
But it’s just the same old game.
I was hoping for an engagement ring.
Got me feeling crazy inside.
Too much pride will not let me decide.
Did I mention?
I will miss the attention.
Hello, Can I speak to, to_____?
You know his name, it hasn’t changed
Will you ever know it?
