Wish You Were Gay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, I don't feel so good
Six words you never understood
I'll never let you go;
Five words you never say
I laugh along like nothing's wrong
Four days has never felt so long
If three's a crowd and two is us
One slipped away

[Chorus]
I just wanna make you feel okay
But all you do is look the other way
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
I just kinda wish you were gay

[Verse 2]
Is there a reason we're not through?
Is there a twelveth step just for you?
Our conversations are in blue
Eleven heys
Ten fingers pulling out my hair
Nine times you never made it fair
I ate alone at seven; six minutes away

[Chorus]
How am I supposed to make you feel okay?
When all you do is walk the other way?
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
I just kinda wish you were gay

[Bridge]
To spare my pride
To give your lack of interest an explanation
I'm not your type
Maybe I'm not your preferred gender orientation
I'm so selfish
But you make me feel helpless
And I can't stand another day
I can't stand another day

[Chorus]
I just wanna make you feel okay
But all you do is look the other way
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
I just kinda wish you were gay
I just kinda wish you were ga

Cover art for Wish You Were Gay lyrics by Billie Eilish

Expression of the frustration when you try your best for someone you could give everything to but all your efforts are being ignored and your feelings can't be returned, so you eventually start to look for the fault in yourself, getting all upset because it all seems like you're just not enough for them. "I just kinda wish you were gay", so that it wouldn't at least be your fault that someone is not interested in you because noone your gender would be and you're not worse than others.
