Deadname

As patient as I'm trying to be
This conversation's hard for me
I've saved these words up until now
So I can tell you all about

The ways they tried to make me come apart
The white rooms and the doctors' offices
No one came to sit beside my bed
They left me here in my head

I didn't want to bring shame on my family
But it's hard to be a man
When you work so hard to be your mother's baby
Yeah, yeah

As perfect as I've tried to be
Explaining this is hard for me
Was it deep inside the lines?
Surfaced by the promise of the times

Knowing how hard things have been here lately
I guess I understand
But you need to know it hurts when you deadname me

Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh
