Lyrics:
They were a boy
until they realized that wasn't them at all.
Never felt like one or the other
of those decals that assign us to a bathroom stall.
They turned 18,
went to court, paid the fees, chose a new name to be called.
They were a boy
until they realized that wasn't them at all.
I've been a girl
from as far back as my memory recalls.
Never looked much like the others —
I was always too big, always too tall.
Loved Carolina blue,
loved my He-man shoes and playing basketball.
I've been a girl
from as far back as my memory recalls.
This world is a mess,
and it's getting worse as days go by,
uncivil unrest
about who's and girl and who's a guy,
but this heart beating in my chest
knows the truth I can't deny:
I might look good in a dress,
but I feel better in a suit and tie.
He's been a boy
from as far back as his memory recalls.
Never looked much like the others —
he was always too soft, always too small.
Loved to dance and sing,
and cut up fashion magazines for all his paper dolls.
He's been a boy
from as far back as his memory recalls.
She's been a girl
since before she knew the word "trans" at all.
Never felt much like the others
trapped inside the casket confines of their gender's walls.
Moved to Tennessee
now she's so scared she can barely breathe from all their hateful laws.
She's been a girl
since before she knew the word trans at all.
This world is a mess,
and it's getting worse as days go by,
uncivil unrest
about who's and girl and who's a guy,
but this heart beating in my chest
knows the truth I can't deny:
I might look good in a dress,
but I feel better in a suit and tie.
Yeah, I look good in a dress,
but I look better in a suit and tie.
