My mother tells me I have no Compassion because of all the Nice Boys I have broken, the ones who really cared My father asks if I will ever find a Man, one good enough to Keep around, as if it is my Standards that are impossible But there are so many memories I'm afraid to tell And so much weighing on the truth I've been hiding Last summer I felt real pain in my heart For the first time in my short life Because she made me feel Normal, And then she left I've spent a long time hiding in shame, but Something has got to Give because It is only a matter of time until I finally break

Something Has Got To Give
My mother tells me I have no Compassion because of all the Nice Boys I have broken, the ones who really cared My father asks if I will ever find a Man, one good enough to Keep around, as if it is my Standards that are impossible But there are so many memories I'm afraid to tell And so much weighing on the truth I've been hiding Last summer I felt real pain in my heart For the first time in my short life Because she made me feel Normal, And then she left I've spent a long time hiding in shame, but Something has got to Give because It is only a matter of time until I finally break
