i’ve never felt like a girl. or a boy. i’ve always felt i floated somewhere in between. for the last day of pride month, i wanted to tell my truth the only way i know how: with a song.
written, performed, and produced by mel fine.
Lyrics
in between
your boutineer sits on the table
dad buttons your sleeves
momma fixes your makeup
they don’t know you’re not their little prom queen
stare into the mirror
breathe reality in
maybe this is the moment
you’ll find comfort in your own skin
it’s time to tell yourself the truth
about why dress shoes feel this good on you
you’re in between
the men you look up to
and the woman they said you’d turn out to be, now you see
you’re in between
a question, an answer
the person you know that you were meant to be, finally
cause it feels just right
when you wear that suit and tie
halloween you dressed up as a pirate
when all your friends were in pink
dreamed about cutting your hair short
sweeping pretty girls off of their feet
it’s time to tell the world the truth about why dresses don’t feel good on you
you’re in between
the men you look up to
and the woman they said you’d turn out to be, now you see
you’re in between
a question, an answer
the person you know that you were meant to be, finally
cause it feels just right
when you wear that suit and tie
you’re not stuck in one of two sides
give in to the signs
you’re in between
the men you look up to
and the woman they said you’d turn out to be, now you see
you’re everything
a question, an answer
the person you know that you were meant to be, finally
cause it feels just right
when you wear that suit and tie
