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 you would 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

oh, 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?
