songs: Call My Name

This song was one of my first attempts at writing on the piano. I was fifteen at the time, and had just gone through a breakup.

I know life and I know love
But this is neither of them
And you know right from wrong
Well, you've done wrong
But I will love again
Whether or not it's you

If it's easier to cry
Then let go
'Cause you will see through tear-soaked eyes
That I am here for you

I've been reading your notes in vain
Like they are Novocain
But lately I feel the pain
So our picture frames are
Coming down for now
I am weak, but I'm still proud
Still, if you are ever lonely again
Just call my name

I know that you hate the way I work so long
I know you hate the way I wrote this song
I stayed up till the break of dawn
But love is not a compromise
It's something like the rising of the sun
Although you've seen it a thousand times
You can't explain it

So if it's easier to cry
Just let go
'Cause you will see through tear-soaked eyes
That I'm still here for you

[c]

And I will sing for you
A song so good you'll doubt I wrote it
And I will dance for you
I won't step on your toes
And I will laugh for you
You'll have no choice
You'll have to say "I need you"
Till then...
