Just Be There


They all say they support you

They all say they love you 

But when it comes down to it

For them it's too hard

Too hard to do what?

To love someone for who they are?

Just because I'm bisexual doesn't mean I'm subpar

It doesn't mean I like you 

I'm a friend first and foremost

And that should come first

You tore my heart in two 

When you said you couldn't support me

Why can't people be themselves?

Why can't they be

Free? 

Struggling to hide it but now it's in the open

The past is behind us but I can't seem to move on

I'll keep singing and I'll keep dancing

I'll be me

When you figure it out though

Don't come running

Or you'll run into my tree

Just be there

Be there 

For me.
