Cory Stewart - My Gay Heart Lyrics

Before you leave home alone
Before you leave what you have known
Before you enter this cruel world
Before you're hurt by what you've heard
Know that it's not all that you think
And kids like us won't always win
Because we're different from the rest
And kids like us we are repressed

Your story's no one's but your own
A private tale you've never told
A dirty secret in your mind
A truth you'll never leave behind
You know yourself and who you are
You're beautiful behind the scars
You love your family and your art
You'll never hide away your heart

I'll never let them kill
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
I'll never let them steal
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
I've come this far with what I've known
I've made a start all on my own
I'll never let them kill
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart

Don't get discouraged keep your hope
Don't let somebody tell you no
Don't be taken by self doubt
Don't underestimate your wealth
Because behind appearances
We're all bound by common threads
And if you look beyond the wall
You'll find that God will love us all

Your story's no one's but your own
A private tale you've never told
A dirty secret in your mind
A truth you'll never leave behind
You know yourself and who you are
You're beautiful behind the scars
You love your family and your art
You'll never hide away your heart

I'll never let them kill
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
I'll never let them steal
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
I've come this far with what I've known
I've made a start all on my own
I'll never let them kill
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart

I'll never let them kill
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
I'll never let them steal
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
I've come this far with what I've known
I've made a start all on my own
I'll never let them kill
My Gay Heart
My Gay Heart
