After accepting myself, I made the decision To leave my father's house, afraid of the reaction From the nasty neighbors, sharp words I wanted to protect my old man from the fabricated stories I thought about how it wouldn't be good for him Besides having to accept my orientation He'd have to listen to the jokes of those who lived there So I decided to leave and not look back You can't even imagine how it is For a young gay person to leave their parents' house Many of them are kicked out Like animals I'll tell you the story of a young gay To give you an idea and make you realize He says I left to save myself I went far away, I couldn't take it anymore I felt suffocated, an intruder in my own home They say I'm promiscuous, that I went off track But I just want to live my life I face my fears It's hard to go back I knew that place was no longer my home I'm on the bus, looking out the window For a moment, I think about pulling the signal Giving up on returning to that place But I need to visit my dad Even if the pain makes me want to stop I'll go to his house But truthfully, I didn't want to go back there Heart racing, facing the past For the love of my dad, I ignore the past I go back to that neighborhood where I faced so many silent nightmares I revisit my pain Returning to the past Every visit there is a mental battle Bad memories, endless charges Returning to that place made me feel very bad I hoped those neighbors wouldn't see me arrive I didn't want to see those people who once made me cry They punished me for my sexuality, words from my childhood Today I'm free, but the pain is constant They said absurd things about me But they never thought that one day it would end The news on TV always left me worried Young people kicked out for who they are Home became a nightmare, I suffered pressure I had to leave, restart my life Even free, sometimes it's hard not to look back And I remembered everything I went through there The fear of going back to a place that always treated me badly I'm on my way to that place That I once left Not wanting to return Heart racing, facing the past For the love of my dad, I ignore the past I go back to that neighborhood where I faced so many silent nightmares I revisit my pain Returning to the past I look through the window, my heart races Each visit is a test, but I lead the way I remember the young person who left there years ago Full of fears and uncertainties about what the future held I left there with my chest open and the certainty That I wouldn't accept those words anymore I wouldn't accept being put down Screw all those ill-loved ones Heart racing, facing the past For the love of my dad, I ignore the past I go back to that place, revisit the pain But in my new home, that's where I belong (without guilt) Acceptance is key, I face every fear A brave heart, always with love I go back to see my dad, but I know where I belong In my new home, that's where I belong Heart racing, facing the past (past, oh, yeah) For the love of my dad, I'm strong and I don't stay silent I go back to that place, revisit the pain But today I have a new home And in it, I find myself (without guilt) Acceptance is key, I face every fear A brave heart, always with love I go back to see my dad I know where I'm from And in my new home, that's where I belong I face my fears, with my head held high I accepted who I am, I'm no longer oppressed My story is one of struggle, but also victory My heart is racing, memories burning I go back to the past, just to visit you I face the demons, I won't retreat Acceptance is the key, I face every fear A brave heart, always with love I go back to see my dad, I know where I'm from In my new home, that's where I belong I raise my voice I continue my fight And with it, I win Heart racing Facing the past (past, oh, yeah) I go back to see my dad I face my fears I accepted who I am From now on They won't oppress me anymore (never again) Heart racing, facing the past (past, oh, yeah) For the love of my dad, I'm strong and I don't stay silent I go back to that place, revisit the pain But today I have a new home And in it, I find myself (without guilt) (Uuh, yeah) And with it, I win
