Call You By Her Name

Share with me the melody your mystic movements make
And share with me the dreams that make me never want to wake
Let me understand the love you'd willingly forsake
Let me call you by her name

I know you've always hated her, I know she did you wrong
I wouldn't ask if there was another way for us to get along
But you and I both know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
So let me call you by her name

Cover me with kindness and make me feel sublime
I never meant to hurt you I just couldn't see the line
It's so hard to see blindness when you don't know you're blind
It don't matter how hard you look when there's nothing left to find

If you really hate me then you don't know the price
I paid to indulge you in your piece of paradise
You owe me a favour so make this sacrifice
And let me call you by her name

I was held down by circumstance, I was drowning in her heat
Trapped beneath her beauty like a corpse beneath a sheet
She kicked me to the ground but still I worshipped at her feet
You won't get this kind of love from anyone you meet

I was poisoned by the love I didn't know she could reclaim
Tortured by her cruelty and taunted by her fame
But given half a chance, she said, I would do the same
So let me call you by her name
Let me call you by her name
