Ellen Foley - I Call My Pain by Your Name lyrics

You won't tell me that you love me
I've told you so many times, but you won't
Now I can see
If you won't say that you love me
Maybe it's because you don't

Why can't you see how you hurt me
Is my love in vain
I call my pain by your name

You say you don't like blowing smoke
You say it's only words
That’s not what love's about
But now I can see if you
Ain't blowing smoke at me
That's because the fire is out
Why can't you see how you hurt me
Is my love in vain
I call my pain by your name

I hear your name, the way it rings
It's come to mean so many things
Like loneliness, tears, and misery
Could it be that you don't care
Is there really nothing there
Is there a hole in your
Heart where love should be

Why can't you see how you hurt me
Is my love in vain
I call my pain by your name
