lyrics

i thought it was the end of days
but it appeared that I’m only halfway
just so we are on the same page
i never really considered getting older before now

I’m getting closer to the average age
that most trans women have been killed or just passed away
i think I’m going to try it out and stay, here
I never really considered a future before now

my body looks different but its not strange
I’m learning how to enjoy the change
i love you more and more with the passing of each day
i never really considered forever before now

before now i was broken
i take full responsibility of my past
i work hard to show you
that I’m more than just a measure of good vs bad
