I came out to my parents when I was 25 years old. It seems quite late, but I wasn’t ready until then.

I was so nervous to do so. We've all heard horror stories about other LGBT people being disowned, kicked out of the house, or worse. Even though I knew my parents were generally kind people, there was still a part of me that was afraid.

This song was based on how I thought the conversation would have went between my dad and I. In the end it didn’t go like this at all, because my dad is awesome. I’m so lucky that my dad (and my mom) were accepting of me.

My wish for everyone else out there who’s struggling to come out is that you’ll be welcomed by your parents with open arms too. I know how tough it can be. In any case, you’ll always have me to send you hugs over the internet.

Happy Pride month, rosebuds!

Lyrics:

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

I don’t like guns

I don’t like war

Papa I can’t pretend no more

I don’t like cars

Or G.I. Joe

You won’t find what I’m looking for

I just wanna lose control

Paint my nails just like a girl

I’ve got music in my soul

I can’t live your life anymore

Papa don’t break the china

Papa don’t break the glass

Papa I’m moving on while

You hold onto the past

Papa don’t be mad

Remember the things you said

I’ll love you forever

My love is infinite

Papa

Ooh whoa

Boys don’t kiss

Boys don’t cry

Papa don’t tell me all your lies

I can’t keep

The pain inside

Tears that don’t fall will never dry

I just wanna lose control

Pierce my ears just like a girl

I’ve got music in my soul

I can’t live your life anymore

I don’t mean any harm

Don’t pull the smoke alarm

It’s a different time now

So open up your mind 

If you really knew it all

I wouldn’t have to sing this song

But here we are on the living room couch

There’s something we should talk about

Papa don’t break the china

Papa don’t break the glass

Papa I’m moving on while

You hold onto the past

Papa don’t be mad

Remember the things I said

I’ll love you forever

My love is infinite

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

If you really know it all

Come and hear me sing this song

Here we are on the living room couch

Dad… we need to talk

Papa don’t break the china

Papa don’t break the glass

Papa I’m moving on while

You hold onto the past

Papa don’t be mad

Remember the things you said

I’ll love you forever

My love is infinite

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa

Ooh whoa

Ooh whoa

Papa papa papa
