Tell Me a Story

Strangers stare and they want to be the first to

Ask for my life in one word

But it’s not that simple

Why do you care to know

Am I a boy or a girl?

But I don’t care about the answers

The questions were boring

Please tell me a story

(1, 2, 3, 4!)

“What did your mom say?”

“What is your real name?”

“How about those drugs that you take?”

“And does your voice change?”

“How come you don’t feel ashamed?”

“What kind of love do you make?”

But you don’t care about my answers

Your questions ignore me

Let me tell you a story

Well, alright

Ask me anything you want to

And I will tell you the truth

My mom is my best friend

And this is who I am

All of it adds up to keep me sane

Yes, I’ve dropped octaves

‘cause I am a mountain range

And any kind of love is good enough to be made

But I don’t care about the answers

The questions were boring

Please tell me a story
