This is a song sung by Alex in the musical HELP: A secondary school musical where he confronts his sexuality and battles with it.

Lyrics:
IT HITS YOU HARD IN THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH TO
KNOW THAT YOU’RE ALONE
YOU TRY TO PRETEND
THAT SOMONE’S BESIDE YOU, A FRIEND
YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT TELL A SOUL EVEN
HALF OF WHAT YOU FEEL
IT’S REAL AND YOU CAN’T SHARE
YOU’RE LIPS ARE SEALED BECAUSE YOU’RE SCARED
TO GOD ALONE THIS SECRET KEPT
MARY CRIED AND JESUS WEPT BECAUSE
THEY KNEW
BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO BE AS STRAIGHT AS HELL
YOU CAN TRY TO IGNORE
ALL THE FEELINGS IN YOUR HEART THAT DWELL
AND TILL YOU GO AND FIND A WAY
YOU’LL BE FOREVER TERRIFIED

IT’S LIKE A SHOW YOU HAVE TO RUN
WHERE EVERY NIGHTS FIRST NIGHT
THE BUTTERFLIES, THE CONSTANT FEAR
THE WISHING THAT YOU WERE NOT HERE AT ALL
SO WHAT YOU CAN NEVER BE FUFILLED
YOU KNOW IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO
EVEN IF IT’S NOT RIGHT FOR YOU
FOR YEARS AND YEARS YOU’RE WELL BEHAVED
THROW YOURSELF TO GOD AND PRAY FOR LOVE
OR PAIN
YOU CAN COPE WITH EITHER BUT NOT TO WELL
FEAR AND SHAME
ARE ALL THAT KEEP ME FROM WANTING TO YELL

BUT IN MY MIND IT’S PERFECT
ME AND HIM ALONE
IF HE’S MINE IT’S PERFECT
HIM TO CALL MY OWN
AND AS LONG AS WE’RE TOGETHER THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS

FROM THE FIRST GLANCE
HE WAS BLIND AND I WAS HIS
THERE TO OPEN HIS EYES
WITH WHAT HE COULD GET FROM THIS
TOMORROW BRINGS A WORLD THAT’S FULL OF SORROW
AT LEAST FOR ME
