Dear Journal,
BOY: I'm not allowed to love
Not allowed to fall
It seems that after all
Some rules must be unbroken
I’m not allowed to swoon
Romanticize or croon
The beauty of your eyes
Must still remain unspoken
But my head will be unbowed
I’m certainly no fool ---
I’m no fool
For I know
I’ll always be allowed
To find exceptions
To the rules
GIRL: I’m not allowed to love
Til they legalize it here
There’s just so little time
I can’t afford to go wrong
I’m not allowed to cry
Tremble, whimper, sigh
These signs of weakness are avoided
I must be strong
But pessimism must be disavowed
Life couldn’t be so cruel ---
Be so cruel
And I know
A girl must be allowed
To find exceptions
To the rules
BOTH: But my head will be unbowed
I’m certainly no fool ---
I’m no fool
For I know
I’ll always be allowed
To find exceptions
To the rules
BOY: Say what you will
I’ll hang on every word
I’ll hang on every letter
But nothing’s going to change the truth
My night is better
But nothing’s going to change the truth
My night is better...
