This song is dedicated to my 10 year old self. Sorry for all the suffering you had to go through; for all those nights you fell asleep crying asking God to change what you felt; trying to convince you that you had to have a wife, children and pass on surnames even knowing that you would be unhappy. Sorry for not wanting to accept reality and make you wake up with a feeling of guilt and betrayal towards your family. Sorry for silencing yourself and hiding yourself, showing people a mask with a smile when what you really felt was anxiety, depression, fear, anguish, unhappiness... because you didn't understand anything of what was happening. That is why I want to tell you, today, now, at this moment, I am very proud of the people you have become, without fear, flying in Freedom and embracing the essence of the rainbow together with other colleagues. I love you, because from the ashes of pain we have risen like the phoenix and our group, our family, is unstoppable 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Thank you for sharing that with me because I really needed that my eyes started watering when you said that you were proud of what I've become I found out I was bisexual when I was 12 and I'm 15 now I'm still a closeted female who doesn't know what to do my whole family thinks I'm straight but I'm not the reason I haven't told them is because my parents are homophobic but at least my sister isn't but I still can't tell her someone give me advice ❤
@@lalahjohnson3759hey! I hope you are doing okay. I don’t have any advice, but you posted this comment three months ago and I just wanted to ask if you are alright? ❤
THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!! This song helped me come out to my family and friends in the first time in forever. We love you Grant keep your head high and don’t let the negative people bring you down.
The pain and suffering this community has went through is uncanny. No matter how many people think we’re fine there’s always been at least 1 time we’ve cried about it. Feeling so lost and forgotten about who we really are. The one step of just telling everyone who we are feels like a foreign dream that can never be reached. No matter how hard we try we can never fully reach it just grasp or brush it. Even when you come out nobody really knows the pain the suffering and the anxiety and depression we went through. I’m so glad you came out, but there’s still a long journey ahead of this. ❤
i came out to my parents when i was in 7th grade and this song would've explained them everything but grant knoche you keep making music because you're the only artist that i've known that makes music that can change and help people out like me so keep doing you and i hope one day i get to meet you in-person to see you and talk to you about the change you've made in me change love from mission texas
I love this so much. You are beautiful and amazing how you are. I remember trying so hard to be one way and make everyone else happy and ever since I’ve came out It cause a lot of trouble with my family however most of them after talking and getting to see how happy my now husband makes me, they understood and accepted me wholeheartedly and I hope yours did the same. You’re so beautiful and inspirational. Keep it up. Please!!! 🙏🏻
Omg this song almost made me cry. The honesty in the lyrics really got me. The bravery to talk about experiences like this is truly enviable. Love ❤️ this masterpiece. It is so amazing in every way. This may be my fave song of yours so far, coming from a MR Independent stan. Really outdone yourself. 10/10, please keep up with this quality music. Hoping for you to get the recognition you deserve in your career in your future, you deserve it.
Chills! So authentic, so relatable... I wish I had this song when I was struggling with my identity. Grant, you're going to achieve great things! Sending much love from Poland 💖💜💙
Staring at my ceilin' Convince myself it's nothin' Pray to God to fix me Feeling guilty havin' thoughts at 12 years old Is mama gonna like this? (Ah-ah) I'm riskin' her of grandkids (ah-ah) Seven years of fighting, and I don't wanna fight no more (ah-ah) So I wanna let it out Wasn't ready then But I'm ready now I want my friends to know me Like, really, really know me I hope this doesn't change things, ooh, yeah They say that boys don't cry But newsflash, 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 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 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, mmm 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 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) I wanna let it out Wasn't ready then But I'm ready now
No parent or family should ever turn against their child for being who they feel they're meant to be. As a proud parent of an FTM and an LGBTQ+ therapist, and ally your words hit me in so many ways. Not only for yourself to write this and share your soul not only helps you but so many others. Thank you for sharing your words and life with so many! Never quit spreading your love, spread your words, spread your experiences, trust me even knowing your music helped even just one individual be as brave as yourself you have accomplished so much more than you could ever realize.❤💚💛💙💚💜
Was gonna record my first listen to the fully thing but I couldn't get myself to knowing I was gonna tear up half way through and I did. Keep speaking my man.🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
You are worthy of love for who you are as are we.all. if your mother don't accept you then that's her loss. You are accepted I wish I could hug you. Its OK be you !!
The first verse got me (I related to it a bit much 😅) The passion and emotion poured into the words can be heard for MILES! I love it so much, I was crying a bit. Thank you for creating such an amazing rollercoaster. Btw I need an acoustic version of this song! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
BOYYYYYYYYYYY, I AM LOVING IT. TRUST ME, THIS IS GREAT. I'VE BEEN HERE ALL DAY LISTENING TO IT. Idk u, but let me tell you that you did it beautiful ❣️
I'm a mom of a bi-daughter & this song brings me right back to the "mustard" talk (how she said the idea of saying it out loud to gave her heartburn) when she was 13. I just found your music and wow, I'm a fan. Beautiful voice, Fantastic song writing skills. I'll enjoy watching you making it big. Couldn't be more proud of you, my girl, & everyone who finds their personal moment of living free and out loud.
I’m so happy this came out. I’ve been thinking about telling my dad that I’m trans and gay but I haven’t had the confidence to tell him. Now is the time! I’m going to tell my dad by sending him this song. ❤ Edit: Told my dad and he loves for me. Never been happier in my life.😄
This song brought tears of joy to my eyes. Absolutely incredible. You are fantastically talented as composer, lyricist and musician. This song deserves a Grammy, at the very least. I suspect you will save many lives with this song of hope and love. Beyond well done. I am so Proud of you.
I am FTM and this song hits home. I had 36 years of fighting so I’m so happy to hear a song like this play now that I’m out fully. I have my girlfriend to thank because she was the one who opened up that question. I never felt this much freedom before and it feels amazing to be finally the real me :) Thank you, Grant.
I am so happy that people can come out with this song. Im sad that i did not have that song back in the day. Thank you for makeing it easier for people who want but dont know how to come out. ❤
Absolutely in love with this song because of how relatable it is, you are so underrated but I’m sure your songs will be a lot more famous one day. Thank u for this song it will help a lot of people. 💖💜💙
God bless you 🥺🥺. Its so difficult pretending to be someone you are not, like wearing a mask or someone strangling you everyday. You really made me emotional.its an amazing song echoing the heart ache of millions. Really God bless you ❤
Love this so much you’re music always makes me feel better I’m only 15 and I’m trying to figure out who I am and it’s hard but this song really helps me and I’m sure other people in so many ways. Thank you for sharing something that wasn’t easy! Luv u!!!❤️

Staring at my ceilin'
Convince myself it's nothin'
Pray to God to fix me
Feeling guilty havin' thoughts at 12 years old
Is mama gonna like this? (Ah-ah)
I'm riskin' her of grandkids (ah-ah)
Seven years of fighting, and I don't wanna fight no more (ah-ah)
So I wanna let it out
Wasn't ready then
But I'm ready now
I want my friends to know me
Like, really, really know me
I hope this doesn't change things, ooh, yeah
They say that boys don't cry
But newsflash, 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
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
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, mmm
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
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I wanna let it out
Wasn't ready then
But I'm ready now
