Don't know if I'll be ready
To lose someone
When I bring you home
Someone who loved me
Before I was even
Three years old
Wanted to wait until my
Grandma died 'cause I
Didn't wanna add to the pain
I know the timing
Won't ever be right but I'm
Still afraid to say your name

'Cause I'm not done learning
How to be proud
Of who I am
And where I come from
They don't take the time
To understand
I would rather hide than
Let them know
It's easier for me
To be alone
I'm not ready to lose someone
When I bring you home

Was it selfish
To lead you on when I
Still don't know myself
'Cause it's too easy
To hold my tongue and
Put you through hell
Wanted to wait until
My parents were older so
I could give them
The son I thought they wanted
But all I gave them, was
Someone they'll never know

'Cause I'm not done learning
How to be proud
Of who I am
And where I come from
They don't take the time
To understand
I would rather hide than
Let them know
It's easier for me
To be alone
I'm not ready to lose someone
When I bring you home

Bring you home

I'm not done learning
How to be proud
Of who I am
And where I come from
They don't take the time
To understand
I would rather hide than
Let them know
It's easier for me
To be alone
I'm not ready to lose someone
When I bring you home
