pandora's box Songtext
von avery pickup

At night there′s a glow from the window
The street lamps illuminate my room
And tonight that light will be put to good use

Words in a notebook
Pages of unspoken truths
A text that i will never send
A heart that breaks only for you

How can i leave you
When i don't even know if you′d stay
And how can i fall in love
When my heart isn't mine to give away


I know you must think so little of me
To leave you so pathetically
The last word i uttered was stay

Now i've opened up Pandora′s box
It left me with the bones of all the lovers that i couldn′t save
And i find their remains are engraved with my name

At night there's a glow from the window
And i can′t bear to tell you the truth
So let the wreckage of my soul swallow the heart of a fool

I cannot leave you
But i don't have the courage to stay
And i cannot fall in love
When my heart isn′t mine to give away

Oh how can i fall in love
When my heart isn't mine to give away
