Gay. Straight. Bisexual. 

Why do we need these names?

So what you're a girl who happens to like a girl?
So what you're a girl who happens to like a boy?

We're all the same.
We just want
somebody.

Somebody who makes us feel like nothing else matters.
So why is it that we need to label this?

If I could change one thing,
it would be equality.
Because no one needs to be called a name 
when they're already feeling like the outcast.

We're all the same here. 
We really are.
