Locked Away

I locked myself up somewhere.
I locked myself up with no key.
Now I crouch at the foot of these stairs,
Looking up at what used to be me.

Will I ever get back up the stairs,
Where the real and adult people live?
Will I ever get back to myself?
Oh, what wouldn't I give!

It hurts to be stuck in this hole.
Please let me back up there with you.
Please don't forget I exist.
I wouldn't know what I would do.
