her Lyrics

We stared thoughtlessly at the ground

Nothing left to do or say

I just like having you around

Takes a while to shed your skin

And even longer to learn how to let someone in

We spent days in the sun

Parading our love

Always thought that it'd be enough

But somewhere along the way

You kept straight, and I wandered away

We both know you'll be gone tomorrow

Everything we know will change

You will never see me the same

But do you have a night that I can borrow?

Let's pretend for one more night

That everything will be alright

And tomorrow, I'll learn how to live without you

I remember vividly

The day that I called Megan

And I broke down like a baby

Said I'm living a life that is not mine to lead

How do I walk away after asking if she

Would take my hand till the day

That one of us fails to breathe?

I wish I grew up being told that it's okay

Always felt that being gay meant

Being wrong and living afraid

"A man should live his life

Proud and true"

And yet the closer I got to true

I was made to be less of a man by you

I try hard not to harbor resentment

I know you were confused

'Cuz I never told you the truth

But your job was to create

A home

Where your son

Would feel

Supported and not alone

So I spent my nights

In my mind

Sending love to the kid inside

Who might not have made it otherwise

I pull that kid in tight

Let him cry, let him cry

I'm here to tell you

It's gonna be alright

But we both know that you'll be gone tomorrow

Everything I know will change

And you will never see me the same

But do you have a single night I can borrow?

Let's pretend for tonight

Everything will be alright

And tomorrow I'll learn to live on my own

I still hear your cries sometimes

In the same way I hear mine

And I hated myself for years and years and years

I still hear your cries sometimes

In the same way I hear mine

But I hated myself for years and years and years and years

And someday

That someday

So don't think that I forgot you

And I'm sure it means nothing now

But thank you for keeping me alive

'Cuz I didn't know how
