On Fire

It's like something set me on fire again
Expect this time it's not about burning
It's not even about the heat
It's about the light that's shining out of me

"I look into your eyes and I see me. I see the person I used to be. I see the emptiness, the hurt. I know that hurt better than anyone."

In a world where it's not safe to be queer
A world where people actually **** themselves
Because not everyone accepts how they love
It it could quite possibly be a very dangerous thing
To out someone, revel their ****** orientation
And I have to say, reveling that kind of information
Is a very cruel, and potentially damaging thing to do
And if one cares at all about quality of life, or even quantity of life at all
If one knows at all about what it's like to be queer
I urge them not to even consider such a damaging thing .
What kind of "changed" or "better" person
would ever contemplate such a thing?
Even telling one person you think won't tell could end up in a crowd of rumors and judgement. If someone reveals to you their ****** orientation, it is yours to keep safe. I know I said I was taking a break but I've heard a lot about this and have had experience and I thought I'd share.

I could've avoided falling in love
I could've saved myself the pain

When people ask, I am just going to say, "I love you"

Because I don't know
what else to do
I can't hide it anymore.

I've learned to love you like I never have before -
with my whole self - body, mind, heart, and soul.
I've been gone for a while and need to catch up

Moving on is easy, but healing hurts the heart.

I could spend ages reading the news
I could spend days, singing the blues
But I turn up the tv light
Give up without a fight
Better than pretending to know what's wrong and what's right

I could spend ages asking myself why
There's a million ways that I could say goodbye
But I turn down the lights
Come on baby come inside
Better then being some fool's bride
Better than pretending to know what's wrong and what's right
Lake Street Dive

Not mine
