I asked for the raisin bread but no-one replied
A silence then your mother said as she looked in my eyes
She said: We don't need your kind round here
You're playing with the mind of my son
And you stood aside, and looked at the tears
That welled in my eyes

Remembering the night I held that knife close to my chest
As I watched you sleeping there my love never confessed
You said: You don't need to feel this way
'Cause I will be here for you
And you held me still, your warmth always
Will be with me, will be with me

I stood there in my cold room remembering that way you smiled
But all I could see frustration and tears of anger at me
I wished that I could be a girl so I could be with you then
But I kept enclosed the truth he could never know
The truth he could never know

To be a boy, in love with another boy
