Trapped in Boxes

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
