lyrics

I can't hide
Can't keep my head down
Walk in straight lines
When pulpits decry
Some days I'm scared
I'll end as headlines

I'm no fool, I know you see
The looks you get when you are with me
The wrong attention we attract
Loving me is a political act

I can't deny
I don't know why you'd choose this hard life
Your heart is bigger than the sky
Your love gives me life

I'm no fool, I know you see
The looks you get when you are with me
The wrong attention we attract
Loving me is a political act
