Analysis of What's your name?
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
As I step on the broken parts of you
When your smile always tries to hide the truth
Can I trust your words when you say you're fine?
Among these shards did you leave me behind?
If I touch your boundaries
I do it cause I care
If I hurt , I do it
For this is what I choose
If your eyes are open
Seeing the world around wane
Answer me this one more thing
What's your name?
What's your name?
As I feel like cold has gripped my heart
When it doesn't matter anymore who we are
I believed silly things all this time
I guess the shame's on me ain't that right?
If I touch your boundaries
I do it cause I care
If I hurt I do it
For you and no one else
If my eyes can't see you
The way you used to be
Then answer me this one more thing
What's your name?
And I know I feel too much
And I know I am too much
But all the words you gave to me
They couldn't be all lies surely
So am I still a fool to trust in you?
What's your name?
