lyrics

My body is an instrument that I can't figure out how to play
I keep fumbling at the chords and all of my strings are frayed
When I look in the mirror, I see my own face
I see the bags under my eyes and start to count up the ways
I would change myself but I'm just so confused and afraid
I think I'm stuck in the middle
I guess I'm lost in the haze

I've been attracted to men as long as I can remember,
That doesn't prevent me feeling like an imposter
Or feeling like I wasted all my teenage years and early 20s
Caving in to compulsory heterosexuality.

I have a lifetime of regret (lifetime of regret)
Lying to myself's at the top of the list
I have times when I forget (times when I forget)
That being queer is powerful and that's what I am

And it has taken some time
To hold my head up with pride
To look myself in the eye
When I come home at night
And I wouldn't be the man I am,
Without my friends beside me
And I'll never repay all of my debt,
But I give love back to them with interest.

I have a lifetime of regret (lifetime of regret)
Lying to myself's at the top of the list
I have times when I forget (times when I forget)
That being queer is powerful and that's what I am

Being bisexual used to mean to me,
I didn't think I fit in with anyone
Being bisexual's just a part of me,
And I won't be ashamed.

I have a lifetime of regret (lifetime of regret)
Lying to myself's at the top of the list
I have times when I forget (times when I forget)
That being queer is powerful and that's what I am
