Jay Brannan, "Half-Boyfriend"
(2007)

I don't know where we're going
but I know we've gone too far and
I hope it isn't showing
But I think I love you and
I can't believe you're leaving
Just when I let you in and
When you had me believing
I could feel again

I could give a million reasons
Why we should not be friends
Our moods change like the seasons
When my mood ends your mood begins and
You're a tease, you're a cockblocker,
You're a loudmouth bitch, and a big talker,
But that's okay
You'll grow up someday

you're the pill I never wanted to take--
An anti-misanthrope
Mine was the heart I never thought you would break
My one hope was that I'd survive you

I've shown up for you
In ways that boy never would
Nut I know you'll go back to him and
Maybe you should, but
I hope you don't go backwards
'Cause I'm going on ahead and
One day you'll wish that you had
Stuck with me instead

You're the pill I never wanted to take--
An anti-misanthrope
Mine was the heart I never thought you would break
My one hope was that I'd survive you

As I wander through union square
I remember when you followed me there
You were the stalker I kinda wanted to have
Being your half-boyfriend was only half bad


Thanks, Lauren! On closer inspection, this one doesn't actually look explicitly gay, but I think I got all caught up in how gay the other songs of his on the site are. I'll try not to make a habit of that.

But we all win, really, don't we?
