Heart in a Box

[Verse 1]
I gave my name to every passing hand
Made little vows I couldn't understand
Now every promise has a lock and key
And every room is closing in on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you arrived, clear as a morning bell
I knew your heart; I knew myself too well

[Chorus]
I found the one too late, too late
The door swings wide, but I can't escape
I watch the life we might have made
Go by the window, bright and untouchable
I found the one too late, too late
A heart in a box with no way to change

[Verse 2]
I count the yeses tangled in my sleeve
The borrowed futures I was meant to leave
You turn the corner, sunlight at your side
I call myself a thing I can't absolve

[Bridge]
Which way is out? Which way is true?
I built this cage; it holds me through

[Final Chorus]
I found the one too late, too late
The door swings wide, but I can't escape
I watch the life we might have made
Go by the window, bright and untouchable
I found the one too late, too late
A heart in a box with no way to change

[Outro]
Too late, too late
I watch you pass; I stay
