Said My Name

Verse 1

You didn’t whisper sweet clichés,

Didn’t try to make the silence fade.

You just looked at me and softly said—

“Edward…” like a prayer instead.

Verse 2

No one ever spoke it like you do,

Wrapped in meaning, soaked in truth.

It wasn’t just sound—it felt like grace,

Like home poured into empty space.

Pre-Chorus

And I’ve heard my name a thousand ways,

But never like the way you say…

Chorus

You said my name… like it meant more.

Like you saw the man I was before.

Like you knew the wounds I tried to hide,

And loved the cracks I hold inside.

No diamond ever spoke that way,

No sunrise ever called my name—

But you… you said my name.

Verse 3

It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t grand,

Just your voice reaching out a hand.

And suddenly the noise was gone,

Your word became where I belong.

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t know that one small sound

Could lift me up and hold me down.

Chorus

You said my name… like it was gold.

Like I was someone worth being told.

You didn’t rush, you didn’t shout—

Just breathed it in and let it out.

And for the first time, I believed,

That maybe love could sound like me.

'Cause you… you said my name.

Bridge

And I’ll never hear it quite the same—

Not from strangers, not in vain.

Because when you said “Edward,”

You gave it meaning…

You gave it faith.

Final Chorus (Stripped then soaring)

You said my name… and I became new.

Like every broken piece had found its truth.

You didn’t save me with a line—

You saved me when you made it mine.

No poem ever touched me this way—

Like you… when you said my name.

Just you… when you said my name.
