Please help me understand
we call this place free
but when I want to love
you won't let me just be

Please help me understand
you really hate "my kind"
but Jesus said love all
unless there's something to find

Please help me understand
how love could be so wrong
when all I do is feel
my love is oh so strong

Please help me understand
how a mother could just quit
when her daughter needs her the most
I'd rather take a hit

Please help me understand
how self-hate is better for me
than loving another girl
I just wish you could just see

Please help me understand
how I can't change my way
how I can't see my self with another
because yes, I am gay

Please help me understand
how love could be so wrong
when Jesus said to do it
and the love I feel is so strong

Please help me understand
how one day your my friend
but when you know the real me
you try to make me bend

Please,
help me understand.
