lyrics

I held all in so well
My whole life in a silent hell
Afraid to stand
On the fact I'm trans
To satisfy a tradition of don't ask don't tell

Every day I wake
And struggle to make
Peace with the fact that I'll never pass
But I'd rather be
Visibly trans
Than hide myself behind a mirror of painted glass

My only regret
Is that it took so long
To feel safe enough
To be myself
But it's not my fault
I didn't have help

The moment
I realized
The girl
Of my dreams
Was not
Someone
I wanted to be with
But rather
She was
Myself
I cried
All night
In my
Own arms
And told her that she's safe from harm

I will always be there
I will never leave her
I will always be there
I will always save her

I wake every day and smile at the girl I dreamt of who
Let's me know she'll protect me too
