When I Don't Even Know Your Name

When I Don't Even Know Your Name

You swept me off my feet, I did not stop to ask.
Living for the moment, afraid to finish last.
You left my bed at dawn, I found myself alone.
Wishing you would call, I‘m waiting by the phone.
Am I the one to blame?
When I don‘t even know your name.

I could never learn your past, by looking in your eyes.
Consumed with emotions, you concealed it with a lie.
The years drifting away, I wish I could face the fall.
Remembering your smile, that‘s all I can recall.
Can I be the one to blame?
When I don‘t even know your name.

A scene outside my window, reminds me of the games we played.
Dreaming of the life I lead, now my life is fading away.
A promising future, friends by my side.
How one chance meeting can cut you up inside.
As the sun is overcome by night,
I can feel the darkness take away my sight.
Again, am I the one to blame?
When I don‘t even know your name.
