Songtext Another name Cold War Kids

Another name

I can't help feeling like I'm starting over
And of course I wish you well
My whole life story, I gotta retell
To somebody else

It wasn't my choice
I can't argue when you say you're moving on
I'm still processing that we're done

Back when I was crying on your shoulder
'Cause I had to hide my face
I was mixed up, tripped out all in my head
And I wanted to erase it

I needed your voice
To tell me that it will never be too late
To make sense of yesterday

Emotions I can't put into words
All the times I felt deserted
Old fears that I had to unlearn, unlearn
I couldn't stay there
You showed me how to take all of my pain
Give it another name, give it another name

When one door closes another opens
And if I let down my defenses
Turn heartbreak into hoping
These are not empty clichés
I'm finding my voice
It's clumsy but I like it anyway
I think I'm gonna be okay

Emotions I can't put into words
All the times I felt deserted
Old fears that I had to unlearn, unlearn
I couldn't stay there
You showed me how to take all of my shame
Give it another name, give it another name
Give it another name, give it another name
Give it another name, give it another name
Give it another name, give it another name
