In A Name


This was written about 2 weeks ago.

It's been through many revisions.
I can't take away or add another word to this.

"Close your eyes and open your heart, I thought I was different..." - NLT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m so predictable, but I've grown to like that now
I know that I'll try to make you feel better
Though my persistence in loving you from a distance
Makes me question where I really am in relationship to you
Don't let me stop you from loving me
If my silence stops you in your tracks - Never mind
Even though I may not say it aloud anymore I do want your love
I've called your name time and time again
But you’re barely a whisper this time
Still my voice carries your name high enough to be heard by strangers

You once had the power to make me go out of my mind with your silver tongue
You were blessed with those wonderful warring words
Always ready to defend your faith
When I was yours, your words were ready to protect and humor me
Let me hear your words free-fall into me again because I've fallen for you
To some degree I know that things will never be the same after you
And I just want to thank you for that little ray of change in my everyday

So many letters penned but never sent
Your love never made it past the front door
Second chances only come around once in a life
Let me know where we're supposed to go from here
I’ll do whatever it takes, I know that you deserve better
It’s not fair to be the one hurting when you only wanted to love
What's the use in second guessing when every second should be spent with you?
To be the one holding you when nothing can touch you and all the good you do
Right after you think about me you'll be writing about all the ways you never knew me
I was a better person before I looked down and found faults to pick up and pick out
I’m afraid of everything; please don’t be afraid to be someone

Am I still all you see?
As messed up as I was, you wanted to love me
You didn't mind my crazy ways and mischievous smiles
I was down for anything when you were down for me - What happened?
Do you still see us when you're next to me or do you just see yourself?
Let me hear what you want from your beating heart

Backing away from my touch makes me want reach out to you even more
But I can't keep stretching my beliefs, so I'm letting my arms fall down
You can tune out my voice but you'll still hear my heart beat
Are you tired of gunning down my love?
As selfish as it may seem I want to see you fight for me
I can't give you a reason
I know now that hurt people hurt people
So take a shot, who knows what you'll hit this time
I just hope that I'm filled with your love this time and not more empty shells

I can’t lie I do feel a smile coming on
Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s you
I can't think of anyone but you right now
It’s easy to know who you are when no one else knows your name
Whoever becomes you tonight won't know me like you did
Everybody is somebody, but nobody else can be you
What's in a name?
Everything that I could ever need
