Maybe in another universe you won't have to hide who you are.

Maybe in another universe you'll understand why I do.

Maybe in another universe I’d speak your language.

Maybe in another universe I wouldn’t have to learn yours.

Maybe in another universe I’d be born a boy.

Maybe in another universe you wouldn’t have to.

Maybe in another universe you’d love me like I love you.

Maybe in another universe you’ll understand why I can’t.

Maybe in another universe I wouldn’t have to love you.

You don’t really want that.

Maybe in another universe you’d love me.

But I already do in this one.

Maybe in another universe our love story wouldn’t have to end.

Our love story ended so I wouldn't have to hate you.

Maybe in another universe you’d understand.

In another universe?

In another universe.
