[Verse 1]
You built a fortress with a plastic key
Walls so high I couldn't even see
I tried to climb but the ladder snapped
Fell back down into your booby-trapped past
[Prechorus]
Every secret's a grenade you hide
I pull the pin just to feel alive
[Chorus]
You kept your feelings in a locked box
I smashed my fists till the hinges popped
All I wanted was to open it
But you threw the key into the abyss
Locked box locked box
Why's it always gotta be this
[Verse 2]
Your silence screams louder than a train
A runaway mess I can't contain
I’m chasing shadows of who you were
But every step just makes it worse
[Prechorus]
Every truth’s a ghost in your eyes
I reach for it but it always flies
[Chorus]
You kept your feelings in a locked box
I smashed my fists till the hinges popped
All I wanted was to open it
But you threw the key into the abyss
Locked box locked box
Why's it always gotta be this
