When You Speak Her Name - kinley

I’m thinkin' about how I don’t wanna know who you are thinkin' about

‘Cause I know that it’s not me

And I thought I was cool, but my heart can’t take loving you

So I’m thinkin' about all the ways we’d never work out

I’m thinkin' about how I should let the sun shine in more

I’m thinkin' about how I’ve got the time, but I know you’re always at her door

I thought I was cool, but you collect hearts like precious jewels

So I’m thinkin' about all the ways I’d never stand out

But you taught me to be free and I’m trying hard to be

But this lump in my throat when you speak her name, it won’t leave easily

I’m thinkin' about how I wanna hold your hand and call you ‘baby.'

I’m thinkin' about how you are ushering me out the back door lately

I thought I was cool, but my head can’t take these up and downs cues

So I’m thinkin' about how I should leave here without you

But you taught me to be free and I’m trying hard to be

But this lump in my throat when you speak her name, it won’t leave easily

Every time that I think I’m safe I get burned

Every time I try to think it through it never works

Every time I try to love I get hurt

Why can’t you love me?

Why can’t you love me?

But you taught me to be free and I’m trying hard to be

But this lump in my throat when you speak her name, it won’t leave me
