Your Name

We sat side by side on a fishing pier
I cast it out and I hooked your ear
And we laughed so hard it chased the seagulls away

Your hand felt like a baseball mitt
Every time you held my hand in it
And you said that you would always keep me safe

But it's safe to say
It didn't turn out that way

There's a hole in my heart where your name had been
You cut right through it with the gravest sin
It just don't work the same
Since my heart forgot your name

There's a hole in my heart where your name once was
Now I feel nothing
Can't remember your love
It's just too big to fill
If I have to live with it I will
But it ain't easy
And it's such a shame
That my heart forgot your name

We searched for vinyl at the secondhand shop
Bought all the Skynyrd and we played it nonstop
And I sang off key while you strummed on your Les Paul

When I got the job we shared an ice cream cone
When I crashed my car you came and took me home
In good and bad times you were my first call

But I can't call out a name I don't know at all

There's a hole in my heart where your name had been
You cut right through it with the gravest sin
It just don't work the same
Since my heart forgot your name

There's a hole in my heart where your name once was
Now I feel nothing
Can't remember your love
It's just too big to fill
If I have to live with it I will
But it ain't easy
And it's such a shame
That my heart forgot your name

No I can't call out a name I don't at all

There's a hole in my heart where your name had been
You cut right through it with the gravest sin
It just don't work the same
Since my heart forgot your name

There's a hole in my heart where your name once was
Now I feel nothing
Can't remember your love
And it's just too big to fill
If I have to live with it I will
But it ain't easy
Oh, it's such a shame
Ooh, it ain't easy
And it's such a shame
No it ain't easy
And it's such a shame
That my heart forgot your name
