Lyrics

If you ever leave
I hope you leave a light on
Just enough to see
The open door you left from
Before you go
Deck the halls with something bright and queer
A big rainbow
They’ll pull it down but they’ll still know
That you were here
Only taking what you need
A little time to grieve
If you ever leave

If you ever go
Please go easy on yourself
‘Cause everything you know
Was planted there by someone else
There’s no such thing
As a true religion, babe
A god who makes you cling
To hatred for yourself is not
A god who saves
It’s mirrors and smoke
Remember all of it’s for show
Should you ever need to go

You became the martyr they groomed you to be
Bleeding on the altar of fraud
It’s the greatest love of all but if you ever leave
You’ll never see the face of God

So if we get to heaven
And Jesus stops us at the gates
If he calls our love transgression
And says I didn’t die for gays
Don’t lose hope
I will take your hand in mine
I’ll pull you close
And with my other hand I’ll give
That God a sign
Gladly walk away from him
We’re better off in sin
If he doesn’t let us in

I’d fight to see you leave your shame
And I think God would do the same
