Open up the box and if I dare to look inside
I would be reminded of those things I choose to hide
Deep within it, locked away are all the things I lack
I just need to lift the lid and I can get them back
I could live this way for a hundred years
And no-one would know what is inside here
You can watch my face but I won’t confess
You can only guess

Packed away in velvet and in tissue are my fears
I like to keep them safe so they can suddenly appear
With any lack of judgement that I made all on my own
Kept safe with disappointments and the chances I have blown
And I need my box underneath my bed
To hear it’s voice inside my head
Oh the wisdom I locked in that chest
I can only guess

Will those tears of pain fall down again
Hear those angry words break free again
Will my pride and lies need to be confessed
I can only guess

Lets pretend the time has come to take a look and see
What I have been keeping to myself like it’s not free
The people and the places I can never seem to face
Suddenly in daylight they might vanish without trace
If I take a chance and then wait and see
If I forgive can you forgive me
Might I see myself as someone who’s blessed
I can only guess
