about

This track was written roughly 4 years ago when I realised I was transgender and is a letter to my parents. I was too scared to tell them in the fear they wouldn't love me anymore.

lyrics

Are you ashamed?
Are you ashamed of me?
Are you ashamed?
Are you ashamed of me?

I didn't turn out how you thought I would
You thought you knew but you misunderstood
I'm not the perfect daughter nor the perfect son
Are you okay with who I have become?

In a dead end job, with no where to go
Im not the prized child for you to show
I've made decisions but you don't agree
So tell me then are you ashamed of me?

Are you ashamed?
Are you ashamed of me?
Are you ashamed of who I came to be?
Are you ashamed? Or can't you admit
Are you ashamed of your own kid?

To make you understand I wish I could,
But we both know it won't do any good
You'll never see the real side of me
Just the black sheep of the family

Catholic school didn't have any affect
We both know I turned out far from perfect
There's nothing at all that you could've done
Not a perfect daughter or perfect son

Are you ashamed?
Are you ashamed of me?
Are you ashamed of who I came to be?
Are you ashamed? Or can't you admit
Are you ashamed of your own kid?

Your perfect little girl but if you only knew
The person that I would one day grow into
Would you still look at me in the same way
Knowing how I'd turn out one day
I’m not like my sisters and I never was
It was was never what you ever did because
I'm exactly who I am meant to be
Now can you answer honestly

Are you ashamed?
Are you ashamed of me?
Are you ashamed of who I came to be?
Are you ashamed? Or can't you admit
Are you ashamed of your own kid?
