Private school girl grew up in religion
Every time she talked nobody listened
Always raised her hand and had something to say
Student government a real go getter
Teacher’s pet, oldest child, no room for error
The real her hidden, covered, and tucked away
Life all planned out
What’s your plan now?
Traded in my knee length skirt for a suit
Traded in my scriptures for gay YouTube
I’m not going back, I know who I am, I’m not confused
I traded in my cross for a pronoun pin
Traded in church for a "life of sin"
I’m choosing the right for the person I’ve turned into
Private school girl performs at Pride
Left the church and the old her behind
Found a group of people to call her family
Unlearned all the judgement she was taught
Decorated with all the rainbows she bought
Look what happens when you’re finally free
Got my plan now
I’ll show you how
I traded in my knee length skirt for a suit
Traded in my scriptures for gay YouTube
I’m not going back, I know who I am, I’m not confused (I’m not confused)
I traded in my cross for a pronoun pin
Traded in church for a "life of sin"
I’m choosing the right for the person I’ve turned into
I felt so alone, nothing was home, just trying to get by
Darkness was creeping in took the light right out my eyes
No longer alone, I found my home, it was inside
If your story sounds like mine, know that you have nothing to hide
I traded in my knee length skirt for a suit
Traded in my scriptures for gay YouTube
I’m not going back, I know who I am, I’m not confused (I’m not confused)
I traded in my cross for a pronoun pin
Traded in church for a "life of sin"
I’m choosing the right for the person I’ve turned into
