I Won't Tell No One Your Name
Goo Goo Dolls · Other Songs - Goo Goo Dolls
And even though the moment's passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Get tossed along the way
The letters that you never meant to send
Get lost and thrown away
And now we've grown up orphans I'd never knew their names
We don't belong to no one thats a shame
But you could hide beside me maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you'll never lose
The past is never far
And did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?
You grew up way too fast now there's nothing to believe
With re-runs all become our history
A tired song keeps playin' on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell 'em your name, yeah, yeah
And I won't tell 'em your name
Oh, oh, I won't tell em your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are, come back down
I won't tell 'em your name
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Get tossed along the way
The letters that you never meant to send
Get lost and thrown away
And now we've grown up orphans I'd never knew their names
We don't belong to no one thats a shame
But you could hide beside me maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you'll never lose
The past is never far
And did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?
You grew up way too fast now there's nothing to believe
With re-runs all become our history
A tired song keeps playin' on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell 'em your name, yeah, yeah
And I won't tell 'em your name
Oh, oh, I won't tell em your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are, come back down
I won't tell 'em your name
I Won't Tell No One Your Name
