7, I was quiet, playing dolls in the study
11, I was caught in a dress by my daddy
13, was ashamed, not the same as the other boys
18, I was grown so I moved to the city
20, met a boy, fell in love like the movies
Then at 23, heart in pieces and I was lost
Heaven don't feel the same
But heaven knows I can't change
My mama still holds me, daddy still calls me son
I'm still here, I'm one of the lucky ones
The lucky ones
I thought I was a misfit, I was so overcome
When my parents said, "We're the lucky ones"
The lucky ones
Now I'm 25, took some time, did some therapy
Can't love someone else 'til I finally love me
Ready to be burned, to be hurt, make something real
Maybe 31, find the one, start a family
Maybe 35, I'll be home, I'll be happy
Living out the dream in a big house on the hill
Heaven don't feel the same
But heaven knows I can't change
My mama still holds me, daddy still calls me son
I'm still here, I'm one of the lucky ones
The lucky ones
I thought I was a misfit, I was so overcome
When my parents said, "We're the lucky ones"
The lucky ones
Still I don't feel safe holding hands in the backseat
See these battle scars from my youth, they're what made me
Think of all the kids crossing borders to fall in love
There's people throwing stones, breaking bones for religion
Kids with velvet ropes 'round their necks for forgiveness
How are we gonna change so we don't lose another one?
Heaven don't feel the same, no
But heaven knows I can't change, yeah
My mama still holds me, daddy still calls me son
I'm still here, I'm one of the lucky ones
The lucky ones
I thought I was a misfit, I was so overcome
When my parents said, "We're the lucky ones"
The lucky ones
11, I was caught in a dress by my daddy
13, was ashamed, not the same as the other boys
18, I was grown so I moved to the city
20, met a boy, fell in love like the movies
Then at 23, heart in pieces and I was lost
Heaven don't feel the same
But heaven knows I can't change
My mama still holds me, daddy still calls me son
I'm still here, I'm one of the lucky ones
The lucky ones
I thought I was a misfit, I was so overcome
When my parents said, "We're the lucky ones"
The lucky ones
Now I'm 25, took some time, did some therapy
Can't love someone else 'til I finally love me
Ready to be burned, to be hurt, make something real
Maybe 31, find the one, start a family
Maybe 35, I'll be home, I'll be happy
Living out the dream in a big house on the hill
Heaven don't feel the same
But heaven knows I can't change

I'm still here, I'm one of the lucky ones
The lucky ones

The lucky ones
I thought I was a misfit, I was so overcome
When my parents said, "We're the lucky ones"
The lucky ones
