Pls. Don’t Speak My Name Lyrics

If you want to survive, you have got to adapt
And the only thing that ive got is a pretty bad rap
Theres a 20 percent chance, im not controlling my brain
Someone from the future is just playing me like a game
Well id hate to believe, this is all just a hoax
And the winner can be whoever can die with the most, so
I was just wonderin', maybe, when the thunderin' stopped, we could
Go outside and watch the steam, risin' off the sidewalks

Life's too short to sit around
And try to place the blame
So the one thing that i'll ask of you is please don't speak my name

Ill never come to grips with the way that you treated me
All the things that i went through, i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
People come up and they ask me, how to you handle abandonment
Well i tell them that you grow thick skin
And ask to speak with the management
And there's always a busy signal
Operator on the other line
And your best course of action, is to stick it in the back of your mind
Otherwise it will eat at you, every minute, every hour, every day
Every week, every month, every year, until youve gone and withered away

Life's too short to sit around
And try to place the blame
So the one thing that i'll ask of you is please don't speak my name

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
