Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

When I was in the third grade
I thought that I was gay
'Cause I could draw, my uncle was
And I kept my room straight
I told my mom
Tears (1)______________ down my face
She's like, Ben you've (2)__________ (3)__________ since before pre-K
Tripping
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math like, yeah
I'm (4)________ at little league
A pre-conceived (5)________ of what it all meant
For those that like the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives
Think it's a decision
And you can be cured
With some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God

Oh no, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God (6)__________ all his children
It's somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
Thirty five hundred years ago
I don't know
And I can't change
...
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She (7)__________ me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

If I was gay
I would (8)__________ hip-hop hates me
Have you (9)________ the YouTube comments lately
Man that's gay
Gets (10)______________ on the daily
We've (11)____________ so numb to what we're saying
Our (12)______________ founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for them
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser

It's the same hate that's (13)____________ wars from religion
Gender to skin color
A complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins
There's human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on
And be yourself
When I was in church they taught me (14)__________________ else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in is then poisoned
When everyone (15)________ is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless rather than fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I (16)__________ not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom till we're equal
Damn right I support it

I don't know

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She (17)__________ me warm

We (18)__________ play
Don't press pause
Progress, march on
With a veil (19)________ our eyes
We (20)________ our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walking around the hallway
Plagued by (21)________ in (22)__________ heart
A world so hateful
Some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start

No law's gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip (23)________ the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up
And I can't change

Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She (24)__________ me warm
She keeps me warm
