Pretty Boy Lyrics
When we were lost
We found each other
And headed sightless for the city
We had no way
Misfit and stray
Living beyond both means and pity
And I know you feel isolated
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy, always
I felt no pain
When you changed your name
We were each other's only family
Walking away
Would change the way
But never make your path less heavy
And I know you feel isolated
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy, always
And I know you feel isolated
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy
And I know you feel isolated
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy, always
Always
We found each other
And headed sightless for the city
Misfit and stray
Living beyond both means and pity
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy, always
When you changed your name
We were each other's only family
Would change the way
But never make your path less heavy
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy, always
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy
And I feel what you won't say
I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand
You're my pretty boy, always

I read this amazing story the other day. Then this song came on and I was a little alarmed at how relevant it seemed. It would now be hard to convince me that this song is NOT about their experience!

Though I'm assuming it wasn't written with them in mind, it's definitely about a young, misfit couple moving to the city with only each other, and ignoring those who disapprove of their lifestyle.

My take on the song is that it is about her younger brother who is gay. He was the only sibling she had. She lived with him. As they got older, he got married. But she still feels the same love for him and always will.
