Me: I really need to stop projecting my own emotions on to fictional characters
Also Me: But just imagine Nicky hearing this song and breaking down because he doesn’t even know if he believes in God anymore, but his father’s church was his entire childhood. He can’t think of the good parts anymore without the bad. (And he honestly doesn’t really want a God that let such terrible things happen to his chosen family.) But now there’s a gay Christian musician who’s put all his longing for love and acceptance into words.
Hey Jesus can you hear me now
It's been awhile since I came out
I was wonderin' do you love me the same?
You see I've loved you since I was young
Tried to be the greatest son
Now I'm wonderin' could they love me the same?
'Cause I know that I could never change
I tried so hard, brought so much pain
And I just wanna be loved for who I am
