Locked Inside Of Me

I'm alone now
I always have been somehow
No one ever comes in
I am in here hiding

Only I have a key
I'm locked inside of me
I'm not letting anybody in
I'm busy thinking

All that doubt
I’m figuring it out
Wondering who to be
Trying to be me

People look through the windows
But nobody knows
I hide behind the curtain
I'm not coming out until I’m certain
