Call You By Her Name Lyrics

Share with me the melody your mystic movements make

And share with me the dreams that make me never want to wake

Let me understand the love you'd willingly forsake

Let me call you by her name

I know you've always hated her, I know she did you wrong

I wouldn't ask if there was another way for us to get along

But you and I both know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

So let me call you by her name

Cover me with kindness and make me feel sublime

I never meant to hurt you I just couldn't see the line

It's so hard to see blindness when you don't know you're blind

It don't matter how hard you look when there's nothing left to find

If you really hate me then you don't know the price

I paid to indulge you in your piece of paradise

You owe me a favour so make this sacrifice

And let me call you by her name

I was held down by circumstance, I was drowning in her heat

Trapped beneath her beauty like a corpse beneath a sheet

She kicked me to the ground but still I worshipped at her feet

You won't get this kind of love from anyone you meet

I was poisoned by the love I didn't know she could reclaim

Tortured by her cruelty and taunted by her fame

But given half a chance, she said, I would do the same

So let me call you by her name

Let me call you by her name
