Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Wish You Were Gay
[Verse 1]
"Baby, I don't feel so good"
Six words you never understood
"I'll never let you go"
Five words you'll never say (aww)
I laugh along like nothing's wrong
Four days has never felt so long
If three's a crowd and two was us
One slipped away

[Chorus]
And I just wanna make you feel okay
But all you do is look the other way
And I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't want to stay
And I just kind of wish you were gay

[Verse 2]
Is there a reason we're not through?
Is there a 12-step just for you?
Our conversation's all in blue
Eleven "heys" (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Ten fingers tearing out my hair
Nine timеs you never made it thеre
I ate alone at 7
You were six minutes away (yay)
[Chorus]
How am I supposed to make you feel okay
When all you do is turn and walk the other way?
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
I just kind of wish you were gay

[Bridge]
To spare my pride
To give your lack of interest an explanation
Don't say I'm not your type
Just say I'm not your preferred sexual orientation
Oh, I'm so selfish (selfish)
But you make me feel helpless
And I can't stand another day
Stand another day

[Chorus]
I just wanna make you feel okay
But all you do is look the other way
I can't tell you how much I wish I did not want to stay
I just kind of wish you were gay
Yea, I just kind of wish you were gay
Yea, I just kind of wish you were gay
