You're trying to remember why you cut all your hair
Were you trying to be someone you weren't?
You don't hang around the old haunts anymore
No, all the of those bridges are burned
He doesn't like to share you
He likes your hair short
You're not you, you're not you anymore
So take off that necklace he stole from his mother
It doesn't mean what it meant before
Pack up your pictures and gather all your clothes
But leave that lingerie that he bought you on the floor
It made you so awkward, you felt like a whore
You're not you, you're not you anymore
Girl, you need to be patient, the day's going to come
You'll leave your old baggage behind
No more excuses, no more denials
You're tired and you're drawing the line
You're nobody's lapdog, you're closing that door
You're not you, you're not you anymore
Were you trying to be someone you weren't?
You don't hang around the old haunts anymore
No, all the of those bridges are burned
He doesn't like to share you
He likes your hair short
You're not you, you're not you anymore
So take off that necklace he stole from his mother
It doesn't mean what it meant before
Pack up your pictures and gather all your clothes
But leave that lingerie that he bought you on the floor
It made you so awkward, you felt like a whore
You're not you, you're not you anymore
Girl, you need to be patient, the day's going to come
You'll leave your old baggage behind
No more excuses, no more denials
You're tired and you're drawing the line
You're nobody's lapdog, you're closing that door
You're not you, you're not you anymore

Girl, you need a vacation
Head down to the station
Jump on the first train that you see
You've always loved Chicago
Or maybe San Francisco
But baby, it's time to leave
You're nobody's lapdog
You're closing that door
You're not you, you're not you anymore
To me it's about a girl who has changed so much to be with the one she loves, thinking she will get love in return. But not realizing that he doesn't love her for her, he just loves what she's become, and that isn't her true self. And she's realizing that she isn't herself by the end of the song, and it's a reassurement that things will change and there will be better days.
Thats my take on it.
