You Gave Me - ExChillCafe
You used to call me something sweet
Like I was someone you would keep
A name that only you would say
Now it drifts away
I hear it echo in my head
Like something neither of us said
A word that used to feel like home
Now I'm alone
You stopped using it one day
Like love had nothing left to say
And slowly I became a stranger
In familiar danger
Even my reflection feels like it forgot what I was real
As if I changed into a ghost
Of what I loved most
The name you gave me that took away
Still haunts me every day
Like I don't know who I am
Without your plan
If I'm not yours, then what am I?
Just a reason left to cry
A name that fades into the air
Like you were never there
The name you gave me fades away
But I am still okay
I'm learning how to speak my own
In a different tone
I don't need you to define
What already is mine
I'll write myself a better name
Out of the pain
I was never just your echo
I am my own voice
