Boys

These hands that are cold

Know just how I feel

No other can show you the place I’m living in

A place you’ve never been to

Not too long ago

I figured it out

All the sleepless nights

Silent thoughts screaming loud

I think I’m ready now

So I’ve said my goodbye to the faking

‘Cause I spent too much time

In a life that ain’t mine

All the years that I’ve wanted to say it

‘Cause it’s clear in my mind

Guess that I’ll be good with loving boys, boys

‘Cause they’re always somewhere in my head

Used to never really understand it

Now I’m never hiding from myself

Guess that I’ll be good with loving boys, boys

Here’s to all the years that I regret

Used to never really understand it

Now I’m never hiding from myself

Far too long in the dark

And silenced by the crowd

Now I raise up a flag to contrast all the doubt

The colours that I’m proud of

Someday when I grow old

I’ll tell my younger self

That I’d rather be real

Than leave my life on a shelf

And be somebody else

So I’ve said my goodbye to the faking

‘Cause I spent too much time

In a life that ain’t mine

All the years that I’ve wanted to say it

‘Cause it’s clear in my mind

Guess that I’ll be good with loving boys, boys

‘Cause they’re always somewhere in my head

Used to never really understand it

Now I’m never hiding from myself

Guess that I’ll be good with loving boys, boys

Here’s to all the years that I regret

Used to never really understand it

Now I’m never hiding from myself

Boys, boys, boys, boys, boys

Boys, boys, boys, boys

I’ll be loving boys, I’ll be loving boys

Wish there was someone to tell me

In my darker times

There’s nothing to be ashamed of

And you’ll be fine
