2 years ago I cut my hair And I changed my name as people stared And I saw on TV and that someone declared That "this is who I am, for anyone that cares" I didn’t change who I am I’ve always been a man Still, it changed your world But dad, I’ll always stay your little girl 2 years ago, I know you had a hard time And I tried and tried, cause I want you in my life I’m just living true, no doubt in my mind And these changes they take time you’ll find I didn’t change who I am I’ve always been a man Still, it changed your world But dad, I’ll always stay your little girl I know that you accept me as your son But that doesn’t mean your daughter ever did run I’ll always be close to you, no matter what I love you and no doors are ever shut I didn’t change who I am I’ve always been a man Still, it changed your world But dad, I’ll always stay your little girl I didn’t change who I am I’ve always been a man Still, it changed your world But dad, I’ll always stay your little girl But dad, I’ll always stay your little girl
The song Daughter by Ryan Cassata with some lyrics changed. Basically, 2 years ago was when I cut my hair. I asked everyone to call me Casper. My dad had a hard time because he wouldnt understand why I was upset when he pulled out dresses, or how Id feel annoyed/upset when he called me pretty/girly. I saw on TV about a transgender person coming out, and I was really happy, but my dad wasnt I didnt change anything about myself, just now Im going to show u my true self I tried to explain to him that Im being honest, and that I feel unhappy when he calls me girly names. Changes take time, especially with something like this I know hed accept me, but hed feel like Im a "new person" Ill be close to him, and always love him, but I cant love as his daughter, only as his son
