No matter how hard I try
To be just one of the guys
I can't help but think
I came here alone
No matter what I say
In my core
In my bones
I'm not one of you
But I love you
Anyway
I can cut my hair like you
Take up all the space in my chair like you
Wear ties and t shirts like you
Dis my friends and spit words like you
But you're my bros
And heaven knows
I need my sisters by my side
So I'll have somewhere to go
When you
Inevitably
Leave me behind
