[Verse 1]
Oh, you waited so long
Sometimes it's hard to stand out
And you don't have to do anything else
But be yourself
You, you dressed up so nice
But all I could see was your eyes
Then the crowd came and pulled you away
Then you were gone

[Chorus]
Oh yeah And I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
And it'll kill me every day
Cause I don't even know your name

[Verse 2]
Everywhere that I go
I see your face and it kills me to know
That you'll never know what you did to me
And now you're gone, yeah, I can't stop thinking about you

[Chorus]
Cause I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
And it'll kill me every day
Cause I don't even know your name
Yeah I don't even know your name

[Bridge]
I'm running, I'm searching, and I don't know where to start
I'm dying, my love, you punched a hole right through my heart
And I won't stop, stop looking until I hold you in my arms
Cause I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
I'm running, I'm searching, and I don't know where to start
I'm dying, my love, you punched a hole right through my heart
And I won't stop, stop looking until I hold you in my arms
Cause I'm running, I'm running, I'm running

[Chorus]
And I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
And it'll kill me every day
Cause I don't even know your name
