Scott Stapp - Name Lyrics






The time has come to break the silence
To tell the truth behind the rage
The years of living in denial
The time has come to turn the page

But it's hard to forgive
Even harder to forget

I am a son without a father
He gave his name and walked away
I am a man, now a father
And I swear my son... oh... will never know that pain

I was a child, I was abandoned
Too young to fight to have a say
Oh God what seemed so heavy handed
Made me the man I am today

It's so hard to forgive
Even harder to forget

I am a son without a father
He gave his name and walked away
I am a man, now a father
And I swear my son... oh... will never know that pain

I will... I will... be the space between the shadows
I will... I will... be the light inside the sorrow
I will... I will...

I swear my son... will never know that pain

'Cause I am a son without a father
He gave his name and walked away
I am a man, now a father
And I swear my son... oh... will never know that pain

He will never know that... never know that... never know that pain
He will never know that pain
He will never know that... never know that... never know that pain
He will never know that pain

Scott Stapp Name Comments
  1. A.... t....

    I'm just going to throw this out there! In 1997 February 4th I got married at 18 years old! With the pressures of being married so young and all the depression and bad things going on in my life was taking its toll on me! around the end of August or September of 1997 I heard on the radio my whole life in a song! Everyone around me was expecting so much! No one was pressuring me near as much as I was pressuring myself! The words for the song I realized I created My Own Prison! I'm 41 years old I have two daughters now, this song really takes me back or also to my future! The lyrics of Scots music has fed my soul! My daughter's we born in 2011 and 2012. My father died in 1994! I don't want my girls to know that pain..... Thank you Scott! I've been praying for you and your family since 2011 brother!

  2. K.... F....

    ....we all have a father... he gave his life for our sins..lest we all remember that...

  3. K.... F....

    I know that pain. Then I did the same. Break that fkn circle.

  4. W.... B....

    Hearing this, just wow. Scott I know this probably is something you dealt with while growing up, but damn this hits home for me. I grew up not really knowing my dad's name, I wish to meet him 19 years into my life and just how you say you won't let your son know that pain. Just... something I too want to do when I one day get children of my own. Thank you Scott for coming back to music and giving us this song and album

    W.... B....

    This song is a carbon copy of my life.

  5. E.... R....

    Scott's stapp I'm glad you're back singing again I love your music rock on man

  6. m.... r....

    Amazing lyric..please come to Indonesia

  7. F.... n....

    Just bought the album, and this song really hits home, but then the life long journey this Man has had also resonates with me 🙏🏻👍🏻

  8. J.... T....

    I grew up like this. Rage is a big word here.

  9. L.... i....

    Awesome! Good job.

  10. b.... a....

    Love this song. Similar to my story.

  11. D.... O....

    Yo bro,I seriously know the feel to your awesome life in your song! No matter...we are the strongest.. Dad & brother !! :)

  12. M.... P....

    This is my life, Scott says it for me, Scott.

  13. M.... I....

    "I swear my son, oh
    , will never know that pain" Uh, too late, man.

    Stapp's son December 2014: ""My father once again chose drugs over his family. He needs help but refuses to get it. He's been on a 9 week binge."



    More news: "Scott Stapp's wife and sister-in-law notified the police that the singer was out to 'assassinate' President Obama, and it was also revealed that Scott had lost custody of his children."

    Don't want to believe it? You can hear Stapp's psychotic phone call to his son's school for yourself. Google it. Loudwire has it.


    Try singing an apology. Don't say you'll never do something - that you've already done.

  14. E.... Y....

    Sad that some people had to experience such pain.
    I love my father, so I won't let my kids to feel pain.

  15. B.... W....

    The late, great SCOTT STAPP!

  16. B.... W....

    I am a son who never had a father. Good lyrics. Ok album, best song on the album in my opinion.

  17. D.... H....

    🥀This is a tough one to follow he's had so many sadness in his life with his Father walking away, he turns to drugs and doctors give him wrong meds. He finds the love of his life that helped him when most would walk away his Angle sent to him & loved him rid addictive ways turns his life around and they had a Son that really made a Powerful impact on his life and he's proved his Son will never have to know his pain he went through! I love songs with happy endings. 🥀🤘

  18. P.... B....

    I’m 54 and I have never met my father and I never had children because I couldn’t trust myself that I would have done the same thing. Geez thanks dad.☹️

  19. D.... H....

    🥀Amazing song about his life🥀🤘

  20. u.... s....

    Great album. Scott has been making fantastic music since Creed.

  21. P.... S....

    I want creed back for 1 last time perhaps. Tremonti gotta give scott 1 more chance. Scott has overcome what many can't and end up giving up on life. Cmmon Tremonti, you gotta do this, for us atleast.

  22. P.... S....

    Lyrics are just enough to heal a broken heart ...

  23. m.... n....

    Great song.... Great voice

  24. M.... S....

    Damn. Hope you didn't feel the pain. But, you understand completely if you did. Thank lord, I dont yet.

  25. J.... S....

    Belo trabalho e as musicas estou gostando Muinto❤

  26. Y.... L....

    одна из лучших на альбоме)

  27. K.... N....

    I'm a loyal and Grateful fan to Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and very much appreciated the Tribute that Scott Stapp gave to CC and Chester Bennington RIP to you both. I'm Very Curious as to What Scott would give and Sound like if he could do any Covers of CC's
    I know guys No one could replace Cornell Really and that's know disrespect to Scott. God shattered the Mold when he created Chris and I listen to CC daily. But just curious guys.. What do you all Think???

  28. P.... S....

    His voice is much better wow

  29. O.... L....

    One of the most powerful voices in modern rock. This guy still has it. What a beautiful song... and that voice! God Bless you Scott. Oswald Lucas from Pakistan

  30. V.... M....

    Thank you Brother! Great song!

  31. D.... H....

    🥀This song is Sad Love Song🥀But it comes to the point of how it made Scott a true artist, fighter and it's made him a Powerful Performer and Family Man🥀☝️🥀

  32. �.... �....

    Ooooo boy he is back 🚬🚬♟

  33. A.... M....

  35. M.... P....

    What a beautiful song!!! 🇧🇷😍

  36. J.... U....

    This should be my theme song. My sperm donor left us when we were all small children and we only saw him a few times until his death several decades later. But, I had a son who I love more than life itself. He's 30 years old now, married, has 4 children of his own, and has adopted two more babies. He's a great dad, too!

  37. C.... S....

    Chorus has the same chords as Rise Today of Alter Bridge

  38. m.... n....

  44. D.... H....

    🥀I'm thankful I didn't grow up with that problem but my parents did divorce in shortly after I was born. My sister's are 10yrs older I was a surprise oh well at least I've made it thru. I'm a fighter I don't give up. I reply on certain artists to "vent" and listen to music it's all good🥀🤘

    D.... H....
