~Peter please, I can't solve all your problems. ~Mother you know nothing of them and I'm not expecting you to find solutions.....just to be my mom and my friend. See me..... Man that gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. So powerful.
This song is so sad, and so sadly rings true with so many people. My mom accepted me when I came out as bi, and I am so thankful for that, but this song really strikes a chord with me.
A beautiful and heart-wrenching song. As a mother, I hope I am never dismissive if my children come to me with an important piece of news. It gets me every time I hear it....
I rarely cry at sad things. I just hide it away inside. But this made me cry so much and I'm trying not to cry as I write this simply because of the memories of how powerful this song is, and it enabled me to release years of hidden emotions.

I just noticed that Claire keeps repeating herself, likely because she is at a loss for words, knowing what Peter wants to say, but having no idea how to react.
When I told my mother she said it was okay and she would love me either way. I was so nervous but it all turned out for the best. Sometimes you just need to take your chances.
I discovered this song/musical about a month ago and all I can say is it gave me the drive to come out as bi to my mother. Thank you writers for an amazing musical
i hate it when i want to tell me parents....something.... my friends accept me, at least the ones that know. i dont want to tell them because i dont know how they will react and treat me afterwards....
Jordan, be strong! Your parents may not WANT to listen now, but they will, and they will love you. Look, I'm a straight Christian man, but, I want you to be you. If you need support, there are people who care. Have strength, Be you. I mean all of this from the bottom of my heart, and I hope it helps. Even if your parents can't accept you, I promise you, there are SO many of us....so many accepting of you. So many who will see you. I will pray for you, that your parents see the person you are, that they see you, they accept you. If not, we can be your family. Be strong. Be you. please. Be happy above all.
I just skype with my mom few hours ago, I let out a information about one person I know is gay trying to see her reaction (she doesn't know him well so basically it won't do any bad to that person except I felt kinda bad I "used" him). then she bombard me with how that is Satan's work, that Satan's nature become that person. She even used examples. I come from an extremely, when I say extremely, I meant Lord's Recovery Christian background. if you know about us, you know how strong the truth is among us. So I believe in God, I want to do what He wants. but I can't control my feelings. My feelings towards men. My feelings towards same gender. I tried for so many years, saying prayer, pray so hard and cry that I can be straight. I begged God to change who I am, that I don't want to be gay. That I can be who God wants me to be. I can be what Bible taught me to be. but as my age grow, my feelings toward same gender love grow even stronger. That I crave for a man to love me. I have never been in a relationship because of that. I can't cheat a girl, I can't pretend to love her and hurt her. I don't know why am I telling you all these. I know it's useless because it doesn't change a damn thing. Thank you though for saying nice words to me. Thank you to even take time to do that. You're a good guy.
this song reminds me of my dad ive come out multiple times he never seems to remember and tells me being gay is a sin it hurts me his side is like him mostly this song is so relatable and beautiful i know how he feels not wanting to tell your parent anything becuase of it and it hurts
FunnyLittleRedHead I know this is 4 years to late but I'm so sorry you had to come out against your will. I had to do that as well and I know how terrible the experience is. I hope you're okay now.
Same here. I wasn't ready, but my mom pushed me to a corner and I don't like to lie so I had to answer her (she did this twice as I am not straight and also not cis.)
the first song is so important.. yet I can't listen to it because when I came out i was called an "abomination" so both of these hit me hard but the first one oh boy...

It's not the most the most pleasing song, in vocals, and not even the most emotional or darkest one (I mean a song about a girl impregnated by a man who doesn't and will never love her, and yano the dead guy song) but to me it's one of the most intense songs you feel like your listening to this call and just the nervousness of Peter, to the heartbreak, I understand Claire I really do the girls doesn't know what to do and she thought maybe a Catholic school would help but Claire darling baby honey boo sugar you have to love your son gay straight god damn ot Claire just tell him you love him
mila.smiles I wasn’t attempting to say that Bare copied Mean Girls in any way. Clearly, it couldn’t have as it came out almost 10 years before. I was simply saying that it sounded similar. I’m sorry if it seemed like something else, but I was just pointing out a similarity between two of my favorite musicals.
@@mallisthegreat2194 Eesh there goes my defensiveness. Sorry for snapping friend, I'm just cautious around tumblr musicals being brought into smaller fandoms
"Mom I'm-"
thank you writers for stabbing me in the gut
~Peter please, I can't solve all your problems.
~Mother you know nothing of them and I'm not expecting you to find solutions.....just to be my mom and my friend. See me.....
Man that gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. So powerful.
"ive been waiting to tell you this since i was 12"-by far one of the most important and heartbreaking lines in this song
Carly 781 it really touched me as well, I was 12 when I knew
This song is so sad, and so sadly rings true with so many people. My mom accepted me when I came out as bi, and I am so thankful for that, but this song really strikes a chord with me.
Your lucky… my parents are making me go to conversion therapy soon
@@micahmcjunkin4961 Are you still going? I hope everything is ok for you
"Open your EYYYYYYYYYYES" that note....omg. gets me every time
the way matt sings "open your eyes" is so effortless and smooth
It’s Peter but yeah
@@lilychancey4446 matt doyle is the name of peter's singer
A beautiful and heart-wrenching song. As a mother, I hope I am never dismissive if my children come to me with an important piece of news. It gets me every time I hear it....
Why do I seek things out that make me cry??? Such a beautiful and unfortunately realistic song.
I rarely cry at sad things. I just hide it away inside. But this made me cry so much and I'm trying not to cry as I write this simply because of the memories of how powerful this song is, and it enabled me to release years of hidden emotions.
CLAIRE
Hello?
PETER
Mother I need to talk to you
CLAIRE
Peter! Honey, I was just gonna call you
PETER
There's something that you need to know
CLAIRE
Gone a week, I miss you already
PETER
I'm just gonna spit it out
CLAIRE
How are rehearsals going?
PETER
You probably guessed it years ago
Still it's kinda hard to say
CLAIRE
Peter we're so excited about the play
PETER
It's something that I've spent so long not saying
CLAIRE
I called your father, he swore he'd be there
PETER
Sometimes it's on the tip on my tongue
But only spoken aloud, alone while I'm praying
CLAIRE
Well, I'd like to tape it but honestly Peter, I'm not gonna be one of those parents
PETER
Silence seemed the only way
CLAIRE
Peter, perhaps now isn't the best time
PETER
But now I understand its cost
CLAIRE
I'm taking Nanna to lunch
PETER
I search for answers on my own
CLAIRE
She's so proud of you
PETER
And find that I'm completely lost,
Mom, please don't say anything else, ok?
Just listen - I don't even know where to start
I can't get the words out
It's like they're all jumbled together
Mom, I love you and…
CLAIRE
Berkley took their wait list
When they called I almost died
Would you really go to Berkley?
I didn't know that you'd applied
PETER
Mom, please listen to me
CLAIRE
Where did Notre Dame go?
I didn't know that you withdrew
People will be disappointed
Have you really thought this through?
PETER
Mom this is important
Mom you need to listen
Mom don't shut me out here
Mom you need to see me
CLAIRE
Peter, please I'm so busy here
Let me call you later dear
PETER
God this is so hard to say
I need to know that I'm ok, Mom, I'm…
CLAIRE
Peter, please, I need a break
Whatever it is will have to wait
I'm going to hang up now
I really need to hang up now
PETER
Don't hang up this took such courage
I'm dying here, I'm all alone
I know you know you know what I'm saying
Just let me tell you - Mom, I'm…
CLAIRE
Peter, please, I can't solve all your problems
PETER
Mother you know nothing of them,
And I'm not expecting you to find solutions,
Just be my Mom and my friend
See me
CLAIRE
Peter I assure you I'm in no state of mind to discuss anything right now
PETER
I've been waiting to tell you this since I was twelve
CLAIRE
Peter, I'm going to go now
PETER
You don't want to hear it
You don't want to see me
Can't bare to see me
CLAIRE
Peter you tend to dramatize
PETER
There's a reason for that mother
Open your eyes
CLAIRE
Peter, please, I have to go now
I really need to go right now
I'll call you
PETER
When mom, when are you going to call?
CLAIRE
Soon, Peter, this week, this weekend
PETER
We can work this out together
CLAIRE
Maybe before then you'll work whatever this is out
PETER
This is always on my mind
CLAIRE
I have so much on my mind
PETER
Please don't hang up
CLAIRE
I have to go
PETER
Please see me
This song makes my heart race so fast. I'm closeted myself and I'm so dreading this conversation.
This is one of my favorite songs! such a good coming out song (sort of) and it really displays Peter and his mother's bond
I just noticed that Claire keeps repeating herself, likely because she is at a loss for words, knowing what Peter wants to say, but having no idea how to react.
When I told my mother she said it was okay and she would love me either way. I was so nervous but it all turned out for the best. Sometimes you just need to take your chances.
I have gone through this with all of my family, they don't see me. At least, not in the same way. But nothing's changed, I'm still me. The real me.
I discovered this song/musical about a month ago and all I can say is it gave me the drive to come out as bi to my mother. Thank you writers for an amazing musical
i hate it when i want to tell me parents....something.... my friends accept me, at least the ones that know. i dont want to tell them because i dont know how they will react and treat me afterwards....
this is heartbreaking
my parents never listen. That hurts me so bad. Every lines in this speaks to me so much.

Jordan Steward You're not alone. Sexuality isn't a choice. God loves everyone, including you.
As Jordan and James told you before: you're not alone. You're fine the way you are.
I'm so sorry that you feel that way. I wish you all the best
Beautiful and truthful.
I love this song so much! But the play is so sad!
this song reminds me of my dad ive come out multiple times he never seems to remember and tells me being gay is a sin it hurts me his side is like him mostly this song is so relatable and beautiful i know how he feels not wanting to tell your parent anything becuase of it and it hurts
This song is so painful to listen to
i told my parents. against my will....it broke my heart.....

I told mine against my will too.
