Mother I just wanna say
Can you promise you won't be mad
Mother I just wanna say
I might be gay
Mother will you love me the same
I swear this isn't just a phase
Mother I'm gay
I never meant to hurt you but I did
I'm not begging you to take my hands
and say you love me no matter what I am
I'm not asking you to see how unhappy your daughter is
You can take my strings and lead me the way you wish
You can find a guy and I'll marry him
I know what I am is the biggest sin
I know you'll never accept me the way I am
So take my strings and lead me your way
But mother I just want to say
I'm gay
