I've tried
God, how I've tried
And only He knows how hard
I've tried
To deny these feelings
That overcome me
That seem to haunt me
That inexorably is me
I've learned that
No matter how hard I try
to deny what has lived within me
for so long now - it seems
I only end up back at the same place
That I first arrived
In love
In lust
In desire
In-fatuation
In-evitably
In love
With women
And no matter how hard I think I must try
I realize how much happier I am in my skin
When I don't try so hard
To be something I know I'm not
