"Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls
It was the turning point of his career. The moment he couldn't take the shot at the woman who stood before him. There was something about her that just wouldn't allow him to kill her. He didn't quite know what it was but he felt a connection to her. It was the first time that he had first looked into her eyes that he saw the resemblance of a life he used to know. One that would haunt him forever. The easy part was putting down his weapon. The hard part was convincing her he wanted to help.
And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away
"I know what you're going through."
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way
"You know nothing," she said.
And letters that you never meant to send Got lost or thrown away
"I know that you're lost."
And now we're grown up orphans And never knew their names
"With no one to turn to."
We don't belong to no one That's a shame
"No one to help you."
But you could hide beside me Maybe for a while
He held his hand out to her.
And I won't tell no one your name
"I can help you."
And I won't tell 'em your name
"I want to help you."
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
He could see the darkness of her past in her eyes.
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
She remained emotionless.
Did you get to be a star?
There was no light in her.
And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are
"You can be so much more than this."
We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe
"This is who I am," she said.
And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
"This is who they made you be, you can change."
And I won't tell no one your name
"Come with me."
And I won't tell 'em your name
See stared at him.
I won't tell em' your name Oooh, oooh, oooh
"You can trust me. I promise I'll protect you."
I won't tell em' your name Ow!
She took his hand.
I think about you all the time
He was glad he made the call.
But I don't need the same
Their bond was deep and strong.
It's lonely where you are
They barely let anyone else in.
Come back down
And they would die for each other in a heartbeat.
And I won't tell 'em your name
