Same Love- Macklemore and Mary Lambert (revised by Lauren Lowther)
When I was younger I could tell
something was different
Hated dresses, high heels and my hair always messy
While all the girls looked at the boys
On the pages in magazines
While I was left to wonder
Why I’d rather watch them read
Pushed it all aside until the age of 18
When I said enough’s enough, I’m done with shame,
I’d rather just be me
Cause I can’t change even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
I’m acting strange
Even if I tried, even if i wanted to
My love, my love, my love,
She keeps me warm
There was a time when I swear that I did try
To change myself, push it down and hide it all inside
Though this can’t be true, no not me
It’s not the way it’s supposed to be
It’s just a phase, I can’t be gay
They’ll never understand
Who’s gonna stand and tell these kids that nothings wrong
That it’s okay to feel this way
You’re beautiful and strong
Hated still spewed from the keys behind a screen
It’s time to stop, make a change
We’re not equal until we’re free
