Don't Say My Name - NiExshadow
You talk around me not to me
Like I'm a ghost you barely see
Your eyes avoid the truth we hide
And silence sits between our lives
I hear you laugh with everyone
But when it comes to me you're numb
I'm standing right here just the same
But you don't say my name
It hurts more than goodbye
To feel invisible in your life
You don't say my name
Like you never meant a thing
Like loving me was something
You erased so easily
You don't say my name
Like I was just a phase
But every letter every sound
Still lives in me this way
I catch my reflection in your phone
A story you won't tell or own
You speak of love like I'm a lie
Something you just walk by
I remember how you said it then
Soft and slow again and again
Now my name won't cross your lips
Like I never existed
I'd rather hear you say goodbye
Than act like I was never mine
You don't say my name
Like you never held your heart
Like I wasn't there beside you
From the very start
You don't say my name
But mine still breaks the same
Every time I hear your voice
And you don't say my name
If forgetting me is how you cope
Then I'll carry all the hope
I'll remember what you won't
Feel the love you don't
I don't need the truth from you
I see it in the things you do
Silence says what words deny
Every single time
You don't say my name
But it's carved into my chest
I loved you out loud openly
You loved me second best
You don't say my name
But I still hear it clear
In every song in every night
You're not here
So go on
Live your life the same
Pretend I never came
I'll be the one who remembers
Even if
You don't say my name
