Coming out songs

Now I have realised that the easiest way for me to articulate to my mother that I'm gay is to perform a song at a school concert that she is at that tells her. So please post yours if anyone else has any. Or feed back on this one I want it to be perfect before I do it. Oh and I'd like to thank Jem29 for the insperation it gave me, and to hope he doesn't mind that I used some of his letter! And it changes alot will keep the thread updated!​

Coming out

Verse 1
The last thing I want to do is disappoint you.
I try to make you proud of me in everything I do.
But I’m sick and tired of waiting,
For you to ask, who I’m so obviously dating.
And I just want you to love me for whom I am,
Not because you have to,
Because you want to
And because you know that it’s still me,
I haven’t changed you see.

Chorus
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,
Was simply to tell you,

Verse 2
You’re no fool,
You’ve probably guessed,
But without you saying you know,
I just get more and more stressed.
And I hope you still love me,
Cause this is who I am,
This is where I am in my life,
And I know you understand.

Chorus
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,
Was simply to tell you,
To say that one simple phrase,
And even now I can’t write its’ a haze.

Verse 3
I don't blame you for reacting badly,
I don't hold a grudge.
But you need to see that this is me,
How you feel about it, you’re the judge.
And this song is me coming out to you,
The best way I can think of,
I am more articulate in this form,
So listen to me and say that you still love.

Chorus
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,
Was simply to tell you,
To say that one simple phrase,
And even now I can’t write its’ a haze.
But I’ve gotta do it sometime,
Pluck up the courage to cross the line.

Verse 4
Let me stress I’m not suddenly camp,
And I have two left feet,
I don’t lisp my words,
I don’t fancy every bloke and Pete.
Girls are complicated and they don’t seem to get me at all,
Indeed they seem to misunderestimate me,
They feel too short before the fall,
But that’s just one in 3 and 1/3 billion so with girls i’m unsure

Chorus
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,
Was simply to tell you,
To say that one simple phrase,
And even now I can’t write its’ a haze.
But I’ve gotta do it sometime,
Pluck up the courage to cross the line.
So here goes, listen to what I say,
Mum I’m gay.

 

thanks, the choruses have changed now so here is the update:
