Say My Name
Sophie Lindinger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna be around you
'cause everytime we meet I know I do
I know you'll make me break
but I crave for me to make this mistake
and tell you I'm okay

I don't wanna fool around with you
'cause I know for sure that I would

just say my name
and I crave for you to hold me again
and then ask me to stay

Oh please please lie to me
just for today
don't tell me you go back to where you've been
Please please cry for me
and make me believe
I'm not alone with all that I feel

I don't wanna stay with you
'cause I know that I would love to
I know I say all that
but in the end I know when you kiss my neck
that I'm done anyway

Oh please please lie to me
just for today
don't tell me you go back to where you've been
Please please cry for me
and make me believe
I'm not alone with all that I feel

Say (say) my name
and make me fall again
Say (say) my name
and make me fall again
Say (say) my name
and make me fall again
Say (say) my name
and make me fall again
Say (say) my name
and make me fall again

I don't wanna look at your face
'cause everytime I do I can't look away
You tell me with your eyes

what to say seems so impossible
that you know you wanna stay
