We're going back in the closet Where all of the hangers are my only friends We're going back in the closet Lock all the doors and forget about it I don't mind Because I know that coming out will hurt you so Back in the closet I go Hang up my dresses Put all of my makeup Back in storage Not trying to start any static So I gotta fake it To keep the peace I'm scared that You wouldn't like it You wouldn't love me You barely swallowed my sexuality Back in the closet To save face We're going back in the closet Where all of the hangers are my only friends Pick at the lint and tidy up from my last visit Back in the closet Swore I would never be here again Back in the closet I go And I know You say that I can talk to you about anything But I know Those words are empty promises I know you want to break down those barriers But I know you'll never accept me So it's back in the closet Where mothballs and bedsheets Are my only friends I pick at the lint and tidy up from my last visit Back in the closet Swore I would never be again Back in the closet Because that's the only place that I can be myself
