lyrics

Mama always told me
“You’ll find a woman some day”
And daddy tried to raise me
To be a man his way
I could feel their hesitations
And silent expectations
On my young bright mind
I didn’t want to let them down

Those kids that I called friends
Called me the worst of names
Bullied into silence
All I felt was shame
But how could they have known?
Was it so obvious it showed?
So I just denied
And I believed my lie

The truth I wanted to erase
I couldn’t look into a mirror at my own face

Cause I’ve always known
It just took a while to realize
That there was some hope
For a kid like me
As I look on back
Through the silver glass
Im proud because of all I’ve overcome
In my time of reflection

I was always scared I’d be
Written off and outcast
What would they all think of me?
Fearing the worst in my head
So I kept to my own music
To distract my disillusions
Quietly I struggled to be free

The truth I wanted to erase
I couldn’t look into a mirror at my own face

Cause I’ve always known
It just took a while to realize
That there was some hope
For a kid like me
As I look on back
Through the silver glass
Im proud I’ve overcome
And healed those scars
In my time of reflection

I never wanted to believe
But I came to terms eventually
And they’re all still proud of me
Cause I can live in honesty

Cause I’ve always known
It just took a while to realize
That there was some hope
For a kid like me
As I look on back
Through the silver glass
Im proud because of all I’ve overcome
In my time of reflection
I believe
In my time of reflection
