This Is What It's Like To Be Gay (Nightcore)

When I was young I felt lonely I thought I'd never find somebody else like me In a playground full of big bullies "You should go and hang out with the girls" they teased Little jokes and silly names It's all fun and games But now I'm at the bar with all of my good mates And one of them asks what it's like to be gay So I say People stare when you're holding hands And make you feel like you're only half a man Strangers flash you crooked smiles That's why I don't get out for more than just a while People mock and people shame 'Cause they think I'm strange But I pick the pieces up and just move on Somehow I find the patience to keep me strong Now when I turn on the TV It's rainbow clouds and and rainbow crowds across the screen But I have never found my peace My hidden scars and troubled heart took over me You don't know what it feels like To cry out your eyes At 4 in the morning when nobody's around And you can finally scream out loud and proud 'Cause people stare when you're holding hands And make you feel like you're only half a man Strangers flash you judgy eyes (ಠ_ಠ) That's why I don't get out for more than just a while When you were young you made big plans But they think you're damned So you let the tough guys troll, the haters hate 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay What it's like This is what it's like 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay What it's like This is what it's like 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay You might have clicked this song 'Cause you thought it'd be happy Thought you'd get a laugh Thought it'd be amusing Well I'm here to tell it like it is But I still hope and I still pray Someday things will change That little boy all alone on the playground Could really cheer up if he heard this song 'Cause one day People won't stare when you're holding hands They'll love you even if you love another man You'll put on your own big smile And spread it across the world for a million miles You'll hold on to your big plans And you'll understand You have all the power you need To make a change And show the whole world what it's like to be gay This is what it's like 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay Oh oh 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay What it's like This is what it's like 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay What it's like This is what it's like 'Cause this is what it's like What it's like to be gay
