Lyrics

Verse 1

You dey hold me for your left hand,

Hide me from the whole world.

When your phone ring at midnight,

Na another girl dey call.

You say, “Baby, no worry,”

You say, “Things complicated,”

But every time I trust you,

Na my heart get frustrated.

Pre-Chorus

You save my name like stranger,

She get “my love” for your phone.

Tell me why I’m fighting

For a place that’s not my own.

Chorus

Call me by my name,

No hide me in your story.

I no fit keep loving you

When you no value me.

You say make I understand,

But who go understand me?

I’m tired of the pain,

Tired of saying sorry.

Verse 2

I cry in the bathroom,

Smile when you look my face.

I keep losing myself

Trying to win your embrace.

Love no suppose beg,

Love no suppose hide.

If I be your woman,

Why I dey feel outside?

Bridge

My heart still dey call you,

But my soul wants peace.

I can’t keep bleeding

For a love that won’t choose me.

Final Chorus

Call me by my name,

I’m not your secret anymore.

If you can’t love me loudly,

I’m walking out the door.

I’ll dance through the heartbreak,

I’ll heal in the rain.

You lost a woman who loved you,

I found myself again.

Slow acoustic ballad (soft piano/guitar)

Verse 1

I remember every promise,

Every night I waited up.

You were lying right beside me,

But your heart was somewhere else.

I heard another woman

In the silence of the room,

And I broke without a sound.

Verse 2

You changed my name inside your phone,

Like loving me was something wrong.

She was “baby,” she was “my love,”

I was hidden all along.

I kept asking to be seen,

You kept asking me to stay.

Now I’m tired of disappearing.

Chorus

If I have to beg for honesty,

Then it isn’t love.

If I have to compete for your attention,

Then I’ve already lost.

I gave you all the pieces of me,

You gave me doubt and shame.

I still love you, and that’s the hardest part,

But I can’t keep living this way.

Bridge

Maybe my heart is holding on

To the man I hoped you’d be.

But hope can’t build a future

With someone who won’t choose me.

So I’ll cry tonight,

And I’ll miss you tomorrow,

But one day these tears

Will become my freedom.

Final Chorus

I’m calling myself by my name,

No more hiding, no more waiting.

The girl who loved you completely

Is finally choosing herself.

And even if it hurts to leave,

I know this much is true:

I deserve a love

That never makes me feel invisible.
