Gay Kids

I closed my eyes
And I tried not to breathe
I wore my heart on my sleeve
I only wanted to be seen
Bittersweet memories

We're in Patrick's car
Smoking a joint before computer science
Hangin' outside of the bars
Too young to be a part of the magic
Down on Cedar Springs
Right across from J.R.'s and Sue Ellen's
Late at night at the park
Blake sang his best Whitney Houston

And I
Will always love you

We were

Gay kids hiding in our bedrooms
While our parents were home
Feelin' alone

Sixteen
Looking for each other
Trying not to lose hope
Out on our own

In theater class
Making out behind the velvet curtain
She sits on my lap
Little brother tries to tell my parents
On the bottom bunk
Lying there with my arms around Patrick
Our platonic love
Held each other 'til we both fled Texas

And I
Will always love you

We were

Gay kids hiding in our bedrooms
While our parents were home
Feelin' alone

Sixteen
Looking for each other
Trying not to lose hope
Out on our own

I closed my eyes
And I tried not to breathe
I wore my heart on my sleeve
I only wanted to be seen
Hiding in my baggy jeans
But if I only knew
I was an unsuspecting queen
I told lies so that I could be free
But eventually
I was only foolin' me
Bittersweet memories

Gay kids hiding in our bedrooms
While our parents were home
Feeling alone

Sixteen
Looking for each other
Trying not to lose hope
Out on our own

Gay kids hiding in our bedrooms
While our parents were home
Feeling alone

Sixteen
Looking for each other
Trying not to lose hope
Out on our own

Gay kids hiding in our bedrooms
While our parents were home
Feeling alone

Sixteen
Looking for each other
Trying not to lose hope
Out on our own

I closed my eyes
And I tried not to breathe
I wore my heart on my sleeve
I only wanted to be seen
Hiding in my baggy jeans
But if I only knew
I was an unsuspecting queen
