Every yes is a no to something else
An acceptance a sign that I might be loosing out
Indecision takes hold and then I freeze
At times I can be my own worst enemy
So many faces I get lazy
Thinking I know someone by what I can see
Display myself to gain affection
Like your approval is what I need
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
I'm the only one who can be who I am, so why am I afraid of what you'll see
Today harsh words came tumbling out
Lining up ready when I opened my mouth
And they betray what's underneath
Our feelings hidden in the lines that we speak
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
I'm the only one who can be who I am, so why am I afraid of what you'll see
Fly free, don't try to define me
I'm more complicated than you think, and I don't take kindly to describing
So give me room to be myself and I'll do the same to you
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
(What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in)
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
(What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in)
What am I afraid of, don't want to be boxed in
People think they know what makes me, me
I'm the only one who can be who I am, so why am I afraid of what you'll see
Why am I afraid of what you'll see
Why am I afraid of what you'll see
