And even though the moment passed my by
I still can't turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
tossed along the way
letters that you never meant to sent
lost or thrown away

and now we're grown up orphans
that never knew their names
don't belong to no one
that's a shame
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

scars are souvenirs you never lose
the past is never far
did you lose yourself somewhere out there
did you get to be a star
don't it make you sad to know that life
is more than who we are

you grew up way too fast
and now there's nothing to believe
and reruns all become our history
a tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
and I won't tell no one your name
and I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name

think about you all the time
but I don't need the same
it's lonely where you are
come back down,
and I won't tell em your name
