Sometimes It Sucks To Be Gay

I have an issue that I fight to cope with every day, and let me tell you
Sometimes it sucks to be gay
I get to deal with all the troubles of finding love
But my chances at that are slimmer than yours
You got the opportunity to get with all the girls
And what do I get? Almost nobody and not a chance in the world
Sometimes it sucks to be gay

I have to deal with wondering if I can be accepted
My love for men drives away those who misunderstand it
For all I care, they can all burn in hell
I’m an isolated island in an endless sea of hate
Sometimes it sucks to be gay

When I’m in school wandering the halls, I get to witness the wonder of love
But that love always is between a guy and a girl
Holding hands or making out, the sight of it alienates my heart and soul
I wish I had the chance to know what that feels like
It’s times like this when it sucks to be gay

Even when I’m among my good friends, it still isn’t any better
Sometimes I wish some of my friends were more than such
But that is just a sick fantasy that I need to keep at bay
I know better than think such things
But if they start to think what might go on inside my mind
Then it really sucks to be gay

Will there ever be hope for me?
Will I ever find someone to love?
Will anyone ever understand?
I wish I knew, but these questions are way too difficult to answer
All I know is that sometimes it sucks to be gay
