I find it hard to sing about my love
I find it hard to know what I should say–
Should I write about the lashes dark as soot against their cheek
Or about the war zone that they walk through every day?
My love they have such courage in their heart
My love they have such spirit in their eyes
My love they have such pride in the head they hold up high
Every day they live and do not die
So listen to me, love–
The person that I might become without you
Is someone I am deeply frightеned of
I do not want to go on living
In a world that does not want you
So I beg you: stay alivе, my love
My love stared down the barrel of a gun
Gripped tightly in the frigid hand of hate
My love they turned and ran, and escaped that icy hand
And by some queer grace they lived another day
My love they had to say goodbye one night
My love they could not live with both our fear
I hope to hell it doesn’t always have to be this way
But maybe it’s just part of being queer
I’m sorry that I failed you, O my love!
I want you to be happy, strong and free
The truth is that I never could have loved you well enough
When I loved you so much more than I loved me
