lyrics

I won't learn nothing.
It's all your job to teach me
When I don't wanna learn.

Of course I love you.
I love all the parts you hate,
And I hate the parts you love.

I've only had seven months
To get this through my head.

It's a long road to acceptance
When you're not even trying,
When saying that you want to
Means more than actually doing it.

It's a long road to acceptance
When you don't want acceptance,
All you want is someone to control.

I'm gonna argue.
It's all new to me, but I know better.
You haven't thought this through.

I'll look up information online,
Just on Fox News and TERF websites.
Tell me everything you know
So I can tell you how you're wrong.

I've only had seven months
To get this through my head.

It's a long road to acceptance
When you're not even trying,
When saying that you want to
Means more than actually doing it.

It's a long road to acceptance
When you don't want acceptance,
All you want is someone to control.

Lovely As Folk
by Steph Durwin

Steph can do sappy love songs just as well as he does angry hard rock, and the lyrics always come out super relatable. And listen for me on "Siren Song"! Claire Roche
