AlexTLM - Dead Name Lyrics

You might have known me back then
But now you have to stop playing pretend
No, I didn't do it to try and make a trend
I have a new name
This is not a game
You can't see my inner pain
Please stop calling me my deadname
You tell me that you respect me
Then you go and misgender me

I've always respected you
Even when I had a short fuse
So now I'm pleading with you
Please stop calling me my deadname
Deadname
Deadname
Deadname
I've changed
I have a new name
This isn't a game
That phrase only causes pain
So please stop using my deadname

You've known me for years
You used to always be all ears
But then I changed
I got a new name
And you have to understand
This isn't a game
I'm not doing it for fame
I tried to be nice
But now I'm telling you
Stop using my deadname
You tell me that you respect me
Then you go and misgender me

I've always respected you
Even when I had a short fuse
So now I'm pleading with you
Please stop calling me my deadname
Deadname
Deadname
Deadname
I've changed
I have a new name
This isn't a game
That phrase only causes pain
So please stop using my deadname
