lyrics

If I let down mine
Will you let down yours?
I promise to filter nothing
And to open all my doors
I’m proud of you, y’know
Proud of what you did
Not everyone remembers how to be open
After they’ve hid
I’ve had my walls up and had my doors closed
I don’t remember why I even use those
Ah, but for most
It’s a struggle, y’know
to find the person who can
help take your mask off
Why did you hide?
I completely understand
Not everyone gets it
Not everyone can
You were hiding from judgement
Hiding from the lies
Hiding from all those who might’ve said
“You’re going to hell when you die”
Oh, but if that’s true
Then it won’t just be you
You’ll have quite a lot of pleasant company
You told your dad
After being scared for years
And he hugged you and shed happy tears
He said “I’ve always known, and I love you”
And nothings been bad ever since between the two of you
And if I haven’t said it
Well, I’m sayin’ it now
People who love you won’t mind
People who you don’t need in your life will
But you’ll be okay
Just get out there and say
“I love who I love”
And that’s how you’ll end it today
That’s how you’ll end it today
Why did you hide?
I completely understand
Not everyone gets it
Not everyone can
You were hiding from judgement
Hiding from the lies
Hiding from all those who might’ve said
“You’re going to hell when you die”
Oh, but if that’s true
Then it won’t just be you
You’ll have quite a lot of pleasant company
Oooooo
ahhh
oh
I love who I love
and that’s how it’ll stay
