Verse 1
When I was a kid I just wanted to wear pretty things
But I was terrified everyone would hate me
And so I hid it from the world
I hid the only part that I saw as myself

Verse 2
I remember lying awake at night
wishing just to end it all
Cause maybe I'd come back as a girl angel
Nothing in life could bring me joy
All because I'd been born a boy

Chorus
I tried to fight it
I tried to run
I tried to live my life and be the perfect son
I tried my best to do everything right
So please tell me why
Do I still have this hole inside?
And I, I'm tired of all of this
If only it could be solved with just one wish

Verse 3
Even when I became a man these feelings never left me
Though I had many traits people told me they envied
They said my beard was simply just the best
And that would be great if I'd ever wanted it

Verse 4
I still lay awake at night, wondering if this will ever end
But I throw on a smile and I
Just pretend
No one can know the way I feel
Cause if I told a soul then all of this would be too real

Chorus
I tried to fight it
I tried to run
I tried to live my life and be the perfect son
I tried my best to do everything right
So please tell me why
Do I still have this hole inside?
And I, I'm tired of all of this
If only it could be solved with just one wish

Bridge
When I looked inside my heart I realized my sadness was a choice
Do I live my life for others or do I finally use my voice
My soul right now is hurting, why do I put up with it?
If my friends and family leave me, then did they ever love me then?

Chorus
I'm tired of fighting
I too weak to run run
Is it wrong to want my life to be one,
I can call my own?
I'm tired of living this stranger's life
So tell me please can I
Take off this mask and make it mine?
Cause I...
I'm tired.
