lyrics

I remember you told me you didn’t want to be seen
As a boy or a girl or really anything
You said my heart and my body will never agree
And that you didn’t care because you’d never be seen

It broke my heart because I felt the same
If it were up to them things would never change

I remember you sitting on my bed as I cried
And you told me you see me and you didn’t lie
You gave me a name and told me to try
Look in the mirror then look in my eyes

Now won’t you tell me what you see
What do you know I see the same thing

When your sister spoke at your funeral she said “they didn’t want to be seen
As a boy or a girl or really really anything”
As your mother told me “they really loved you”
I thought is this what it takes
To finally be seen
As a boy or a girl or really anything.
