the Box Lyrics

I made a box to keep our secrets

To hide a love unknown

But when I tried to fill it

I stared down wondering why I felt alone

There were no phrases

Were no moments

Nothing untouched

There was so much past

Could there be a future

After everything we lost?

Should I hide away

And keep it safe from your storms?

Should I fall back in your arms

Where I felt safe and warm?

I made a box to give you

Just in case I ever dared to give it

'Cause in the box there was my heart

And I wasn't sure just how you'd treat it

You had already battered it

Already bruised it

It seemed pointless to fight

You had so much darkness

You seemed so heartless

It was hard to see a light

So I gave up

I turned away

Swore it was the last time

Put up all my walls

Stumbled through dark halls

Swore you'd never get another try

You'll never get another try

So I kept the box behind its walls

So I kept it sheltered from it all

So I kept the box behind its walls

So I never gave you the box

Never gave you all of my heart

So I never gave you the box

Never gave you the box
