I love you
But you don't
Accept me the
Way I am
Do you know that
Your words cut deeper
Than a knife
You said
You lied
To protect me
But I don't
See it that way
At all
Oh father
Why
Must you be
This way
I ask you
About my mother
And you say it's none
Of my business
Tell me why
Underneath
The lies and bullshit
I see a fragile man
Father I want
To help you
But you're not
Letting me in
I'm grown now
You can tell me things
Oh father
Why
Must you be
This way
I've cried tears
Upon tears
Because of what
You said to me
Yet I
I still love you
So
You say God
Doesn't like the gays
And that two people
Of difference races
Shouldn't date
If the love of my life
Was black
Would you accept
Me then
Oh father
Why
Must you be
This way
