Lyrics
Call Me By My Name
Verse 1:
I'm the friend you never wanted.
I'm the friend you'll always have.
I'm the friend who'll watch you suffer
And smile and say I'm glad.
I'm the dealer at the table
Every time you lose the game.
Don't pretend that you don't know me
Call me by my name,
You can call me.... by my name.
Verse 2:
I'm the fire that's in your belly,
I'm the fear that's in your eye.
I'm the shadow in the corner
When another good friend dies.
I'm the warm seductive feeling
That went rushing through his veins.
Don't pretend that you don't know me,
Call me by my name.
You can call me by my name.
Verse 3:
I'm the face inside the mirror,
That you don't recognize.
I'm the memories you can't forget,
No matter how you try.
You can love me, you can hate me
'Cause to me it's all the same ;
But don't pretend that you don't know me,
Just call me by my name.
You can call me by my name.
