lyrics

A E
It was a secret to be hidden from my mother
And my father told me not close any doors
So I didn’t say a word and I left the doors wide open
Well your baby has been torn

I kissed her in secret by my house
Scared someone might see
But I realized that moment she was better than a secret
And she was better than I could ever be

F#m A E
Coming out was never coming home
Running away from the things I had known
We didn’t know that our backpacks were filled with the bullshit
F#m E A
Until we tried to fix it

We broke up in February, the boy in college
He touched me by I never touched him
I wondered if that’s how it’d be
Saying I love you when I still couldn’t fucking breath

I called you many years later saying her name
And you told me you didn’t understand, it was a phase
Oh, I wish I had been braver when she held my hand
If love is a phase then a phase is what I am

F#m A E
Coming out was never coming home
Running away from the things I had known
We didn’t know that our backpacks were filled with the bullshit
F#m E A
We didn’t know until we tried to fix it

Coming out was never coming home
Running away from the things I had known
They say it gets better it gets better it gets better
But rain always keeps getting wetter

Coming out was never coming home
Running away from the things I had known
We didn’t know that our backpacks were filled with the bullshit
We didn’t know until we tried to fix it
