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
