Don’t Mention His Name

I see you out about in town
Each now and then
We get to talking 
Almost like we did back when
I almost fool myself to think
It's all the same
'Til my fantasy comes crashing down
You say his name

CHORUS
Don't mention his name 
It's more than I can bear
'Cuz I'm all alone
While he's with you there
Don't mention his name
Oh, it hurts me so
'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go

I'm the guy who loved 
To take you anywhere
If we were together 
Then I didn't care
I go to places where we went 
They're not the same
In our circumstance 
The blame all falls upon one name

CHORUS
Don't mention his name 
It's more than I can bear
'Cuz I'm all alone
While he's with you there
Don't mention his name
Oh, it hurts me so
'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go

Every time I think 
I'm making some headway
To get back in your heart
Right where I want to stay
I hear the word that breaks my heart
And kills my flame
That dreaded word comes from your lips
You say his name

CHORUS
Don't mention his name 
It's more than I can bear
'Cuz I'm all alone
While he's with you there
Don't mention his name
Oh, it hurts me so
'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go

'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go
