Letra Not worth hiding Alex The Astronaut

Not worth hiding

I learnt to drive to school when I was 16
And I was happy with my friends
and we skipped class for time to breath
We learnt about the stars and the tree-es,
I cried when I found kissing boys wasn't for me.
So I tried every trick in the book
I tried talking to the pretty boys,
And changed the way I looked.
But wearing dresses to impress just
Left me lonely and upset.
And the boys could tell when I looked at her
I wasn't interested in them.

It's not worth hiding if you've got something to say,
And it's not worth smiling if your feeling in pain
And it's
Not worth hiding if you think you might be gay,
Or different in another way,
You're perfect just the same!

I open the paper and it left me in shame,
It says "these contagious gays aren't safe and you should keep
Your kids away."
But I grew older and bolder,
And my friends caught on slowly
19 and we're through all the weight from my shoulders
And we sang,

It's not worth hiding if you've got something to say,
And it's not worth smiling if your feeling in pain
And it's
Not worth hiding if you think you might be gay,
Or different in another way,
You're perfect just the same!

So tell me anyone,
If you love them as a daughter could you love them as a son
We all smile at different faces,
We all blush at different names.
But holding someone's hand should never
Make you feel ashamed.

Your story might not be at all like mine
I don't mean to simplify, that should be in your own voice,
In your own time.
But the cages that they've made us,
Should soon just rust away,
And this song just won't need singing,
But for now I'll let it play.

It's not worth hiding if you've got something to say,
And it's not worth dying for the people that are smiling at your name,
It's not worth lying if your feeling in pain
And it's
Not worth hiding if it's happiness that could be on your way
