It's not like a landline, you don't speak to my parents
It's not like I need much but I need the transparence
I know you never called me when I need it most
I know I never told you how much it hit home
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Hush now don't drown me out
Reverse the roles now I'll be the one walking
And I'll put myself first I'll be the one talking
'Cause you never saw me as more than just a phase
And you never told me until it was too late
'Cause my God it cut me open
I've been crazy I lost it a bit
But my God it left me golden
Yeah I'm crazy I got it
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Hush now don't drown me out
The next time I see you I see you out with your friends
It will be like baby we never met
'Cause I got no room for you 'cause you never cared
And next time I come across you it's like baby we never met
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
Tell me what they call you
But let me tell me my name first
I'm tired of the shaping
Hush now don't drown me out
