The Boy Who Can't Be Named
I see the dresses in my closet
The ones you never saw me wear
I see your birthday gift forgotten
Like I didn't even care
I see your flowers left abandoned
When did I become so cold?
'Cause damn he did some damage
That's out of your control
I only realize as you walk away
The first tear rolling down my face
There's so much that I didn't say
But you were always going to be second place
I tried to love you
But all I seemed to give you was the pain
Of who came before you
Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same
Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
You would drive across the country
Just to walk up to my door
And every time you'd be there
I'd just say I've gotta go
I only realize as you walk away
The first tear rolling down my face
There's so much that I didn't say
But you were always going to be second place
I tried to love you
But all I seemed to give you was the pain
Of who came before you
Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same
Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
Cause I'm as closed as a book
Locked in a drawer
Key in the ocean
On the sea floor
A thousand feet down
You'll never find me
And all I can say
Is that I'm sorry
I tried to love you
But all I seemed to give you was the pain
Of who came before you
Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same
Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
The ones you never saw me wear
I see your birthday gift forgotten
Like I didn't even care
I see your flowers left abandoned
When did I become so cold?
'Cause damn he did some damage
That's out of your control
I only realize as you walk away
The first tear rolling down my face
There's so much that I didn't say
But you were always going to be second place
I tried to love you
But all I seemed to give you was the pain
Of who came before you
Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same
Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
You would drive across the country
Just to walk up to my door
And every time you'd be there
I'd just say I've gotta go
I only realize as you walk away
The first tear rolling down my face
There's so much that I didn't say
But you were always going to be second place
I tried to love you
But all I seemed to give you was the pain
Of who came before you
Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same
Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
Cause I'm as closed as a book
Locked in a drawer
Key in the ocean
On the sea floor
A thousand feet down
You'll never find me
And all I can say
Is that I'm sorry
I tried to love you
But all I seemed to give you was the pain
Of who came before you
Oh, you know I'll never love you quite the same
Oh, the same as the boy who can't be named
