Your Name
If I can't remember your name
How can I apologize for the pain?
If you can't remember the shame
How can you let me know your aim?
When the time came to get straight
You avoided all contact
When the time came to be clear
You ran away and attacked
(chorus)
When the hour led to moments for sharing
You said "Sorry, I must be leaving"
When the minutes might have mattered to caring
Your absence was all I was feeling
(chorus)
It was easier for you to walk than to say
Even a few things were on your mind
It was easier for you to stay closed to talk
Easier to shut down than be kind
(chorus)
(chorus)
If I can't remember your name
