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 rushing down my face
She's like, Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K
Tripping
Yeah, I (1)__________ she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math like, yeah
I'm good at little league
A pre-conceived idea 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 loves 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 (2)__________ me warm
She keeps me warm
She (3)__________ me warm

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 (6)__________ ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser

It's the same hate that's caused 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 (7)____________ for everybody
There is no difference
Live on
And be yourself
When I was in church they taught me something else
If you preach (8)________ at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in is (9)________ poisoned
When (10)________________ else is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless rather (11)________ fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No (12)______________ (13)________ 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 (14)__________ me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

We press play
Don't press pause
Progress, march on
With a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walking (15)____________ the hallway
Plagued by pain in (16)__________ heart
A world so hateful
Some would rather die than be who they are
And a (17)______________________ 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 (18)______________ in
We come from the same one
Strip (19)________ the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we (20)____________ up
And I can't change

Even if I (22)____________ to
My love, my love, my love
She (23)__________ me warm
She keeps me warm
