Yifan Wu - Namesake Lyrics

Trophies from primary school gather dust
Second-place medals have started to rust
Bronze, silver, gold all feel cold to the touch
Long before anyone worried so much

Days in the sun, playing games in the park
Winners and losers forget after dark
Oh can somebody return my young heart

I couldn't remember my name
My mind cloaked in fog, covered in shame
The rain wouldn't wash it away

Lilac and lavender tinted the air
My rose-coloured glasses had me unaware
Of hardships and heartbreak and unanswered prayer
Strands of pulled silver that grow with my hair

I couldn't remember my name
My mind cloaked in fog, covered in shame
The rain wouldn't wash it away

I couldn't remember my name
The sky has been grey for all of my days
I wish I was more unafraid

I couldn't remember my name
My mind cloaked in fog, covered in shame
The rain wouldn't wash it away
