will jay - i can only write my name lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
kids would laugh at my mom’s accent
and the food that she made
say that stranger
is my brother
cause we all look the same
thought i’d be cool if i could laugh too
even at my own expense
i’d be just like all of those guys
“all-american”

[pre-chorus]
spent my life wishing
my eyes were shaped
a little differently
and always answered back
in english when my family spoke
to me

[chorus]
now i’m ashamed
i can only write my name
i can only write my name
i can only write my name…

[post-chorus]
i’m ashamed
and i’m the only one to blame
that i can only write my name
i can only write my name…

[chorus]
i lost it all when i was young
so no one would ask me where i’m from
and now, i don’t speak the language
wouldn’t even know how to say
that i’m ashamed
wanna sit down with my grandpa
i know nothing about smile and nod
instead of talking
only way we know how
so forgive me, all the years i was embarr-ssed
must of hurt to see i couldn’t care less
i rejected my own culture
like all americans

[pre-chorus]
maybe i just never had a hero
i could look up to it’s hard to see yourself
in superman when he looks nothing like you

[chorus]
now i’m ashamed
i can only write my name
i can only write my name
i can only write my name

[post-chorus]
i’m ashamed
i’m the only one to blame
i can only write my name
i can only write my name

[bridge]
lost it all
when i was young
so no one asked me
where i’m from
and now, i don’t speak
the language
wouldn’t even know
how to say

[chorus]
that i’m ashamed
i can only write my name
i can only write my name
i can only say

[outro]
that i understand
and really i can’t
stop running from who i am
and write my own name
