about

Coming of age transgender anthem

lyrics

I used to think I was invisible
Missable
Cause all the kids ignored me when I was exploring the world
That poor little girl
You used to think you were untouchable
Unloveable
‘Cause all your good intentions paved the road descending into hell
You stumbled often ‘cause no one caught you when you fell
Life got too confusing and nothing fit to wear,
You covered up your body and kept a secret you could never share
But every day the pain got more and more to bear

It wasn’t your fault
We all get it wrong
You wanted to play along
It’s not your fault
That you were denied
The safety for the child that you hold inside
So you cut your hair
Got lost in the crowd
Wishing you had the words to scream it out loud
Know that I’m proud

I used to think I’d be Invincible
I’d have it all
I would make my parents proud
By singing to a crowd and not an empty room
Maybe I could be something soon
I used to think that I could change the world
Repay that girl
And try the best I can to be a better man
But man, I need a friend
And I’m alone again

It wasn’t my fault
We all get it wrong
I wanted to play along
It wasn’t your fault
We lied through the toxins felt so dirty
Like our bodies are a sin

Kept cutting your hair
Your secret’s within
Kept talking in tongues
So your words don’t sink in
Kept using your name
So no one’s upset
Kept hoping they’d see
How I tried to forget
Strangled with doubt
But what would she say
If she saw me now?

She’d be so proud
Alone in the crowd
She’ll know one day
That he’ll be okay

I used to want to be okay
Just okay
Not even happy, just at home in my skin
I owe more to him

It wasn’t our fault
We all get it wrong
Don’t let 'em think you’re not strong
It wasn’t my fault
There were no signs
Although y'know I tried to be a boy at times
Got trapped in my head
Strayed from the crowd
But now we have the words to scream it out loud
You’ll be so proud

I always knew you were Invincible
