[Verse 1]

He hears it echo

"She/her, my daughter"

Yet another day

He's a lamb to the slaughter

It seeps through his skin

He’s drowning in sin

His patience wears thin

But he puts on a grin

He'll change the subject

Sweep it under the rug

But don't you forget

You’ve planted a bug

Of shame in his ear

It's all he can hear

It's all he can feel

It confirms all his fears

[Verse 2]

Without second thought

You say, "i miss my son"

And now all of her confidence

Is quickly undone

Show's no sign she's hurt

But she changes her skirts

For pants and sweatshirts

Can't be hеr and overt

[Chorus]

You get the privilеge

To be safe in your skin

So you'll never understand

The situation she's in

You get to not agree

With her identity

And say he and not she

But she can’t just not be

[Verse 3]

They came to you

After much apprehension

Just to learn first grade english

Is past your comprehension

You say it’s not true

That it's not fair to you

Have to learn something new

That you’d quickly get used to

[Outro]

You can't use our names as an asset

We have every right to be upset

When every syllable, sounds like a threat

This is not as easy as forgive and forget

If you don't get it, you can learn how to cope

Every time that you say it, wash your mouth out with soap

We don't have to forgive this, so you better hope

That you can rebuild all the trust that you broke
