If  you follow
 the jaw-line
 down over  the heart,
the  curves of your  bone and muscle
 that make up your head  to toe...
it's  just skin and  thread, stitches  and ligaments,
words  that we spoke only to  regret.
I  know they're going to laugh at us  when they see us
 out together "holding  hands"  like this.
They  wouldn't understand it if we told  them all the reasons,
 not  that I think this  deserves any kind of explanation.
We  can make it up so we've got a smile  painted on all the  time,
no  matter what it's like on the inside.
We'll  keep this, keep us like a secret,
because  if my family and friends ever found out
about  the things we could never be, haunts we'll always keep, so fucking bittersweet
I  know they're going to laugh at us  when they see us
 out together "holding  hands"  like this.
They  wouldn't understand it if we told them all the  reasons,
 not  that I think this  deserves any kind of explanation.
