Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I had no way of knowin'
You should have given a clue
'Cause I belong to somebody else
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do?
I wish that you would've told me
'Cause I was feeling it too
And now I'm stuck livin' everyday
In an imaginary world with you
[Chorus]
I hear you calling out my name
No I will never be ashamed
I feel you running through my veins
You always take away the pain
I hear you calling out my name
No I will never be ashamed
I feel you running through my veins
You always take away the pain
You always take away the pain
You always take away the pain
[Verse 2]
I wish that you would've noticed
You should have told me the truth
Now you belong to somebody else
So tell me what am I supposed to do?
I'm hanging on by a moment
I hope it's killing you too
'Cause now I'm stuck livin' everyday
In an imaginary world with you
[Chorus]
I hear you calling out my name
No I will never be ashamed
I feel you running through my veins
You always take away the pain
I hear you calling out my name
No I will never be ashamed
I feel you running through my veins
You always take away the pain
You always take away the pain
