Got a box full of words I never gave
Letters written in the quiet of the night
Every line was a bridge I wouldn't break
Every page was a truth I couldn't write
All the things I meant to say Locked away,
locked away
All the promises I made
Never laid at your feet that day
Words unsaid,
they still remain Heavy as these chains
Wrote you down in ink when I was weak
Told you everything, my mouth won't speak
But I keep them like a debt I'll never pay
Burning slow, won't fade away
All the things I meant to say Locked away,
locked away
All the promises I made
Never laid at your feet that day
Words unsaid,
they still remain Heavy as these chains
Could have been,
should have been More than silence and what might have been
But I hold them close like sacred things Words with broken wings
Got a box full of words I never gave
Taking them with me to my grave
Taking them with me to my grave
