This lack of validation
Absorbs to the core
When love is dishonored

Commitments ignored
How can I find value
In culture based on hate

How can I feel freedom
Laws don't protect me


And my love
My love
The reason I'm alive

Oh my love
My love
The strength to survive

While we hide
And are forced to lie
The part of my life

That matters the most
Is summarized
With heart-stopping lies


We follow society
The American dream

Have jobs, bought a house
Mow the grass every week
We follow the law

Pay our taxes every year
But we both mark single
As if our love isn't real


CHORUS


We just want our love protected
We just want to be respected


CHORUS
