You knew from the first time,
What you were, and what you weren't,
To be the bride and not the groom,
Make-up hidden in your room,
Boy, caught in a dress,
With lipstick smeared across your face,
Tears as shame cuts deep,
Damned a disgrace,
Waking to the same pain,
Called the cruelest names,
But please, feel no shame,
You and me, we are the same,
The person in the mirror,
Is not the one in your heart,
Our bodies in error,
Tearing our souls apart,
Years roll on,
Self-hating,
Tears roll on,
It's suffocating,
You can't lie to yourself,
Jonathan,
You can't hide from yourself,
Jonathan,
You're not who you're meant to be,
This dyspohria, tears at your heart,
Trapped in the wrong skin,
You're not who you're meant to be,
There's no end in sight, stuck at the start,
Life's wearing thin now,
Stop,
There's a light at the end,
(And you're not alone)
Hang on, my friend,
Wait,
There's strength in you,
(And you're not alone)
You shine with a golden hue,
Jonathan, you are free,
Jonathan, you've done your best,
You can't lie to yourself, so pick up your head,
Jonathan, give them less,
Force a smile, and put on your dress,
No longer a son, wipe your tears away,
The morning star brings a new day,
Jonathan, you're leaving now,
One life dies, a new one begins,
Spread your wings and shout out loud,
My beautiful fallen angel, sing,
Jonathan,
Jonathan is gone,
Amen,
We are born again,
