FIRST HELLO - Acoustic

Staring at my ceiling

Convince myself it's nothing

Pray to God to fix me

Feeling guilty, having thoughts at twelve years old

Is momma gonna like this?

I'm risking her of grandkids

Seven years of fighting

And I don't wanna fight no more

So I wanna let it out

Wasn't ready then, but I'm ready now

Oh, my, beautiful bliss

I'm so foreign to this

Tell you what my walls know

Here's my first hello

Oh, my, such a relief

I can be me

I don't put on no show

It's my first hello, oh

I want my friends to know me

Like, really, really know me

I hope this doesn't change things

They say that boys don't cry

But news flash, that's a lie

I don't fit inside your boxes, I can't stop this, no

So I'm counting down

Unlock my cell and come on out

Oh, my, beautiful bliss

I'm so foreign to this

Tell you what my walls know

Here's my first hello

Oh, my, such a relief

I can be me

I don't put on no show

It's my first hello, oh

It's my first hello

All that I said, all that I did

I learned to lock my thoughts up carefully

I held my breath, I broke my heart

I bit my tongue, it starts to bleed

And I, I hope you know that it's not your fault

Hope my father understands I'm not any less a man

Oh, my, beautiful bliss

I'm so foreign to this

Tell you what my walls know

Here's my first hello

Oh, my, such a relief

I can be me

I don't put on no show

It's my first hello, oh

It's my first hello

I wanna let it out

Wasn't ready then, but I'm ready now
