I Can Only Write My Name Lyrics
[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
I 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
I’m ashamed
And I'm the only one to blame
That I can only write my name
I can only write my name
[Post-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
[Verse 2]
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 embarrassed
Must've 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
I'm ashamed
I’m the only one to blame
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
[Post-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
[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
