Lyrics

I see you putting me in boxes

I perceive that you are categorizing me.

Sticking labels on my forehead

Applying labels to my forehead.

I wish that I could carry on but

I desire to continue, but it's becoming harder to ignore the labeling.

It's getting harder to ignore it

It's becoming challenging to disregard the labels.

Love is love is what I answer

Love is love is my response when questioned about its authenticity.

When you question if it's real

I'm uncertain about what you're seeking.

I don't quite know what you're after

I'm unsure of your intentions.

It's just the way I feel

These are just my genuine feelings.

I shouldn't have to prove it

I shouldn't have to prove my feelings just to reassure you.

Just to ease your mind

Validation shouldn't be necessary to ease your concerns.

There's no hidden meaning

No hidden meanings, just a genuine feeling that I have.

Just a feeling that I

It's a feeling I experience.

I've been in between

I've been in a state of ambiguity.

I can't win if I'm in the in between

I cannot succeed if I remain in this state of uncertainty.

But it's right being in between

Yet, it feels right to be in this ambiguous state.

And I like that I'm in the in between

I appreciate being in this middle ground.

To you it's just a dirty daydream but

To you, it may seem like a questionable daydream.

It's purer than you know

But it is more genuine and pure than you realize.

It might be hard to understand but

Understanding may be challenging, but there's more to my love than I can express.

There's more to love that I can show

My love is deeper than what I can show.

You think that it's just a phase

You perceive it as a temporary phase.

Why do I have to make my case

Why do I have to defend my situation?

The one thing that I know is constant

The constant in my life is that it deserves acceptance.

Is it deserves to be embraced

It deserves to be embraced.

I shouldn't have to prove it

I shouldn't have to prove my feelings just to reassure you (repeated).

Just to ease your mind

Validation shouldn't be necessary to ease your concerns (repeated).

There's no hidden meaning

No hidden meanings, just a genuine feeling that I have (repeated).

Just a feeling that I

It's a feeling I experience (repeated).

I've been in between

I've been in a state of ambiguity (repeated).

I can't win if I'm in the in between

I cannot succeed if I remain in this state of uncertainty (repeated).

But it's right being in between

Yet, it feels right to be in this ambiguous state (repeated).

And I like that I'm in the in between

I appreciate being in this middle ground (repeated).

I can't help but feel I might not be wanted here

I can't help but feel unwanted in this space.

I feel like they might love me less being queer

I fear they might love me less for being queer.

I've been waiting so long

I've waited a long time to open up to someone.

To open up to someone

To say that I don't align with either team.

And say, that I don't play

I don't conform to traditional expectations.

For either team

I only exist in this state of ambiguity.

I only play

Existing in this in-between state is my reality.

In the in between

I can't succeed if I remain in this state of uncertainty (repeated).

Watch me win being in the in between

Witness me succeeding in this ambiguous state.

It feels right to be seen in the in between

It feels right to be acknowledged in this middle ground.

And I like that I'm in the in between

I appreciate being in this middle ground (repeated).
