A lock of my hair kept in your drawer, what are you doing that for,

when you know I"m never coming home?

Trying so hard to save face, it"s made my life a rat race,

when my heart just really needed to roam.

Chorus

What are you thinking now, wanting me to love you

When I am learning how to take me off my shelf

What are you thinking now, wanting me to love you

When I am learning how to love myself.

The box that you keep upon your shelf, the one in which you hide yourself,

walls so tall and narrow I can"t breathe.

What used to be my security, now it binds and gags me,

I pray that God will let me leave in peace.

Chorus

With fear in my heart, my sorrow grows, I"m leaving everything I know, world

so huge it"s overwhelming me.

Naked I stand to start my life, no longer anything to hide, the secret me I

never wanted to see.
