Trapped in Boxes Lyrics

Seemed like a good idea at first, but was the worst one ever had

We'll start a life you'll be my wife, and I will leave you with the kids

Which you will raise and I will pay so there's no way you can leave

While I'm away, I will still play and you won't say a word or I will cut you off

And this isn't my first rodeo

When I'm in control around and 'round we go

You'll be the best thing in my world until my focus leaves your face

And then I turn my stare away and in a moment you're replaced

And all those faded memories remain

They bring back the poison from those scars and all the stains

And hope could bring you here to me

But even if it did, all those memories are trapped in boxes

Reappeared after so long, I brought the song called Wind of Change

What I displayed when we engaged made you take back the trust you gave

And now I sit with my new life that I owe all to one exchange

And in the light, try as I might but I may never see your face again

And all those faded memories remain

They bring back the poison from those scars and all the stains

And hope could bring you here to me

But even if it did, all those memories are trapped in boxes

Trapped in boxes

Trapped in boxes

Not one for all just all for one, survival of my fittest, son

Can anyone live up to my great expectations you can't meet

Sent to the box you'll be released, so someday I may take a peek

And find you staring back at me

This opening inside of me

Keeps growing larger by the day

Your angry eyes, pitiful cries

What have I done to be treated this way

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid, turn out the light

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid, turn out the light

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid, turn out the light

Close the lid

Close the lid

Close the lid

Nothing ever turns out alright
