So What If They Know About Us?
inspired by Heated Rivalry, The Long Game, and homophobic hockey culture

I'm so fucking in love with you
But I can tell no one.
I crave your touch, not just your love,
I'm miserable here alone.
/
Please don't hang up,
I can't stand the silence.
This house feels so empty,
Without your presence.
I'm falling to pieces,
I'm losing sleep over this.
/
I don't fucking care who knows...
I want to kiss you in front of a crowd.
Fuck all the haters and homophobes...
Only love can drown them all out.
I am not ashamed...
I am not afraid...
I am in love...
So what if they know about us?
/
I wake up in this bed alone,
Wrestling with ghosts of my past.
The loneliness hurts me to the bone,
And I'm afraid I'm gonna crash...
/
Into a neverending nightmare,
Where you'd end up leaving me.
My heart would crack like broken glass,
And I would die of the misery.
I know I'm being too much,
But I can no longer deny my love.

I don't fucking care who knows...
I want to kiss you in front of a crowd.
Fuck all the haters and homophobes...
Only love can drown them all out.
I am not ashamed...
I am not afraid...
I am in love...
So what if they know about us?
/
I'm done hiding...
I'm done fighting...
I'm done lying to keep the peace.
I'm done breaking apart
Every time you depart
I'm done crying myself to sleep.
/
I don't fucking care who knows...
I want to kiss you in front of a crowd.
Fuck all the haters and homophobes...
Only love can drown them all out.
I am not ashamed...
I am not afraid...
I am in love...
