Box In a Heart

What a lonely way to lie
Pretend that you're alright
Then take a handful of white pills to make you smile
You haven't been yourself at all
Though I know it's not your fault
They left you wondering just who the hell you are
There's a box in your heart where you keep your feelings hidden
It's been carefully locked shut
And this house that you call home feels more like a prison
Say you're happier now but, but I figured you out
I know you swore to tell the truth but the truth is hiding
And every smile that you sell baby I'm not buying
The only way you feel alive is when you feel like dying
And you won't look me in the eyes because you know you're lying
Lying, lying, lying
You're lying, lying, lying
Out in the deep end
Always on defense
Yeah, you're scared to let your own eyes see you cry
So what could it hurt to breathe your breath
Scream it out until nothing's left
No matter what the voices said
There's better days ahead
There's a box in your heart where you keep your feelings hidden
It's been carefully locked shut
And this house that you call home feels more like a prison
Say you're happier now but, but I figured you out
I know you swore to tell the truth but the truth is hiding
And every smile that you sell baby I'm not buying
The only way you feel alive is when you feel like dying
And you won't look me in the eyes because you know you're lying
Lying, lying, lying
You're lying, lying, lying, lying
You're lying, lying, lying, lying
You're lying, lying, lying
