about

This is originally intended for ukulele, but I didn't bring my uke to the concert, so I played it on guitar.

lyrics

[VERSE]
I’m crying in my bedroom again
Cause I don’t know what’s wrong with me
Maybe it’s my sexuality
I think I might be non-binary

Don’t think anyone can ever
Know that I am transgender
What am I supposed to do?
I think I might just tell you

[CHORUS]
How can I survive with all this inside?
I think I might go ahead and take your advice.

[VERSE]
Everybody knows now,
and I am so relieved now,
but I still have a beard, flat chest, rough skin,
I wanna be more feminine

They say looks aren't everything
But I'm just trying to be me
Or at least a little happy
So I’m going on estrogen

[CHORUS]
For so long I thought it could never be done
But now my life feels like it has been redone

[VERSE]
After months of waiting,
And a bit of complaining,
My patience was festerin'
But today I'm on estrogen


My boobs are growing
My beard is thinning
My head is spinning
Cause today I'm on estrogen

[CHORUS
(Sing/play fancy)
For so long I thought it could never be done
But now my life feels like it has been redone
(pause to get slow and quiet)

[BRIDGE]
We're all scared of the unknown
That fear for me was hormones
But those months of crying should have been
Months that I was on estrogen

(4 counts of silence then really intense)

[CHORUS]
For so long I thought it could never be done
But now my life feels like it has been redone
And now because I could no longer postpone
my gender, I leapt headfirst into the unknown,
I will never wonder what could’ve been
cause I’m taking estrogen


Played on Ukelele: C-G-Am-F-C repeat for whole song.

Supernova Plant City, Florida

I play acoustic guitar, ukelele, and sing about queer shit. Apparently that maens I'm folk/punk/indie/queercore.

I just like making fun tunes.
