Lyrics

I got a box full of tears
Buried deep in the closet
Nobody would ever know it
The way I masquerade
New book for each year
I tuck it under my pillow
That's where all my inner thoughts go

To be safe from the world outside of my head
I just hope you'll understand

I wish I could show you
The pages of my life
The stories that I write
But I don't really know if I show you
The places that I've been
Will it be the end of another story

I got a heart full of pride
I came upon it the hard way
I try to kill it everyday
It comes back again
Old scars I'm inclined to hide
But you know nothing about them
You probably thought I was perfect

But I wish I could show you
The pages of my life
The stories that I write
But I don't really know if I show you
The places that I've been
Will it be the end of another story

I guess I'm giving you a window
To the person I used to be oh
Please don't shut it down now

I wish I could show you
The pages of my life
The stories that I write
I'm really hoping that
If I show you
The places that I've been
It won't be the end of another story
