"My Own Name" lyrics

"My Own Name"

I know my own name

You smile like the sun but want to see me lose
You analyze the tide with everything I do
Friends in fair weather, but you cannot hide the truth
You want what you can't have, so you try to sink me too

Don't wish me well in the water
When you keep pulling me under

Keep praying on my downfall, I'm not ashamed
I don't need direction, I know the way
You can't erase my scars or put me on display
My skin and bones got heart and soul that you can't take
I know my own name

I thought you had my back, but you were my mistake
When clouds were overhead, you left me in your wake
You held it over me like I pushed you away
You wanted me to drown while you made your escape

Don't wish me well in the water
When you keep pulling me under

Keep praying on my downfall, I'm not ashamed
I don't need direction, I know the way
You can't erase my scars or put me on display
My skin and bones got heart and soul that you can't take
I know my own

Name's not dead yet, that ship has sailed
I'm above the wreckage, looks like you failed
I'm not dead yet, that ship has sailed
I'm above the wreckage, your coffin's nailed

I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet

Keep praying on my downfall, I'm not ashamed
I don't need direction, I know the way
You can't erase my scars or put me on display
My skin and bones got heart and soul that you can't take
I know my own name

I know my own name
