Can’t Stand

Can you imagine going through life, being ashamed of who you are, finding hope seems so fucking far, every TV is telling me we don’t exist every church is making me dismiss faith, Faith in What? Faith in what I do is Sin, and that Im going to hell and that I can’t tell anybody, or anyone who I really am so we pretend, that’s okay that being gay is a Fucking secret, trapped in closets, cuz coming out is too scary, walking down the street makes our heart beat fast, cuz some creep is going say or do something that makes us ashamed so we blame ourselves and doubt who we really are, scared to tell our friends, hide our pictures at work, make up fake names so we can hide and fit in, cuz it’s too hard, when our favorite song comes on and tell us that we’re wrong,

that we’re wrong

Chorus

Can’t Stand, not knowing you mom

Can’t Stand, not touching your face

Can’t Stand, that I can’t marry you I can’t stand up but I won’t sit down this is who I am

It’s the pain, of dating a girl, who’s ashamed of me, hides me from her family is embarrased of me, angry, we can’t married live normally, that her friends are getting rings and talking bout having babies, and it’s making her crazy to think we have to live this life so painfully, always doubting that it’s okay to be, in love with eachother couldn’t fathom life without the other, But the stress of being hated by this ignorance makes us scared to kiss, we wish that it was different but it’s not, so we take what we got, we love eachother a lot, but we’re smart, and we recoknize this plot, passing laws, that prevent us from adopting kids, put a twist on this sick catholic preist shit, blamed for causing AIDS, that its God’s way to kill the gays, So I pray for the better day?

Chorus

So it seems like the older I get, the harder it becomes I’ve overcome so much harrassment, these scares are evident, but how many more Ignorant Fucks, Do I have to tell off, until I’ve said that’s enough and Give up, I Can’t, that’s whats so frustrating, a hopeless future, filled with constantdebating, I’m waiting for this make believe day, that’s okay to be Gay, and I can’t publically display love, HEY, it’s better than hate, I could walk down the street with a smile on my face, and all you bible preachers spitting hate, could show love, and practice what the bible really say, until that, I’ll be going insane, watch my people hurt, and die from pain, this ain’t a game, We’re people too, and after all mother fuckers, we’re just like you

Chorus
