Tuesday Tunes
A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –

Hey, your glass is empty
It’s a hell of a long way home
Why don’t you let me take you?
It’s no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
But you seemed so real to me
And after all the bullshit I’ve heard
Refreshing not to see
That I don’t have to pretend
She doesn’t expect it from me
So, don’t tell me I
Haven’t been good to you
Don’t tell me I
Have never been there for you
Just tell me why
Nothing is good enough
Hey little girl, would you like some candy?
Your Momma said it’s okay
The door is open, come on outside
No, I can’t come out today
It’s not the wind that cracked your shoulder
And threw you to the ground
Who’s there that makes you so afraid?
You’re shaken to the bone
And no, I don’t understand
You deserve so much more than this
So, don’t tell me why
He’s never been good to you
Don’t tell me why
He’s never been there for you
Don’t you know that why
It’s simply not good enough
Oh, so just let me try
I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I’ll show you why
You’re so much more than
Good enough
So, don’t tell me why
He’s never been good to you
Don’t tell me why
He’s never been there for you
Don’t you know that why
It’s simply not good enough
Oh, so just let me try
I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I’ll show you why
You’re so much more than
Good enough

My 2 cents –

This was the first song that I ever heard that had defined Queer undertones. I had always had the abusive relationship, so this song hit so hard the first time I heard it. The idea that music could talk openly about all of it. (I had been sheltered music wise before I heard this one…A Lot of Country and Hard Rock. Neither really tackle queer topics or rather did back then.) Nowadays queer representation in music is everywhere…but back when I first heard this song it was such a new thing.

Lyrics –

[Verse 1]
My entire childhood
I thought I had to hide who I was
I never let anybody see
I finally accept now
That some things never change
How your image will always matter more than me
I never really seem to measure up
I gave my all, but it’s just never good enough[Chorus]
But I’m your daughter, ain’t that enough
To be someone you’re proud of?
I tried my best
And yet you wish that I was different
And the reason why I always shut you out
Was because I felt like I let you down
If I continue this way I’m gonna break
I’m not the one who needs to change

[Verse 2]
I always used to hold back
Afraid that I’d be too much
‘Cause my whole life you taught me that I was
Afraid I was too wild
When in fact I was just a child
Who desperately wanted to be loved
So I chased the love from others
You never understood
But did it ever cross your mind that maybe they gave me what you never could?
[Chorus]
‘Cause being your daughter is not enough
To be someone you’re proud of
I tried my best
And yet you wish that I was different
And the reason why I always shut you out
Was because I felt like I let you down
If I continue this way I’m gonna break
I’m not the one who needs to change

[Bridge]
And I know my sexuality
Doesn’t go well with what you believe
And when I started in recovery
You became my worst enemy
It’s like I’m always almost good enough
It’s like I always almost measure up
But if I could then I would be the one that you want me to be
I just don’t see why

[Chorus]
Being your daughter is not enough
To be someone you’re proud of
I try my best
And yet you wish that I was different
And the reason why I always shut you out
Is because I know that I’ve let you down
If I continue this way I’m gonna break
I’m not the one who needs to change

My 2 cents –

This is Pride month. And though my own mother barely reacted when I came out of the closet, there was so many other reasons why I felt like I had disappointed her. And this song felt so much like someone understood. This month I plan on mostly hitting on the songs that fit the queer tags, but Like usual I try to also pop the ones in that feel like they give me something to say.

Lyrics:

Wanna be loved every night
Wanna know she’s only mine
Breathe her in, give me life
Got all these hearts in line
They all wasting their time
‘Cause only you do me right

Baby, you should pick up the phone
‘Cause I’m wondering if you’re alone
‘Cause I’m driving down Sunset
If you’re ’round, come get it
If you come, come get it

I wanna be missed like every night
I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time
Say you can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me
I wanna be held, fragile like glass
‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that
Say you can’t walk
Can’t talk, go on without me

Aren’t you tired every day?
‘Cause I run through your brain
Hold me down, keep me safe
This is as good as it gets
Don’t you dare second guess
Only want you saying yes

Baby, you should pick up the phone
‘Cause I’m wondering if you’re alone
‘Cause I’m driving down Sunset
If you’re ’round, come get it
If you come, come get it

I wanna be missed like every night
I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time
Say you can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me
I wanna be held, fragile like glass
‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that
Say you can’t walk
Can’t talk, go on without me

Say, say you can’t eat
Say, say you can’t sleep
Say, say you can’t breathe
You can’t breathe without me
You can’t breathe without me

I wanna be missed like every night
I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time
Say you can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me
I wanna be held, fragile like glass
‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that
Say you can’t walk
Can’t talk, go on without me

I wanna be missed, come hold me
I wanna be kissed, come feel me
Come, come make me feel missed (I wanna be missed)
Come, come make me feel missed
I wanna be held, come hold me
I wanna be felt, come feel me
Come on make me feel missed (come on make me feel)
Girl, come make me feel missed
Make me feel missed

My Two Cents-

It’s pride month and I couldn’t resist the urge to post a girlfriend song. I really enjoy this song. I am Pansexual. My blog is always a safe place for all. What is your favorite Gay song?

My 2 cents –
It’s Pride month Y’all. For those who don’t know, I am Pan sexual. I am Non Binary. And I will be posting more on that topic throughout June. For now, enjoy a great song, and here is a playlist that I made of Girlfriend songs.
