[Verse 1]
How can I show my face?
I'm a mess and I fear I may confess
I'm a fool with or without her
Make up what you will about her
It's part of the game
I can't say her name

[Verse 2]
I've been left in the dark
Shine a light right in my eyes
You'll never make me talk
Alibis I must protect
An alias you won't detect
I won't place the blame
I can't say her name

[Bridge]
I whisper it so soft and slow
When I think no one's listening
No one knows
The thought of her so strong and slow
Stays on my mind
I won't ever let her go

[Verse 3]
How can I go to sleep?
When I know all too well I'm in this thing too deep
It's all I can do not to shout about it
I don't need your pity
I'm powеrless and proud
And I don't feel ashamed
Oh, but I can't say her name
