Heart in a Box

[Verse] Oh, I see you forgot my name No worries, bae, I feel the same No tropes for you, this ain't a play Enemies to lovers for the easily swayed [Pre-Chorus] But anyways - we're not that cliche Minds maligned by all the things we say We ferry these thoughts, yet they run out-of-sync Such a waste of intellect when you act before you think White lies and sweet aughts, I never loved you Pour one up because I'm glad we're through Down another, top it off and consume Oh! how it hurts and I just don't get it, what a paradox (paradox) [Chorus] Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box [Verse] So that's how you wanna be Guess this life is a comedy That's okay, don't need no loyalty Me, myself and I is the philosophy [Pre-Chorus] And by the way - the world is my stage Sad is in and I'm all the rage Always chasing dreams, yet they remain out of reach Tie the knot was just a figure of speech White lies and sweet aughts, I never loved you Pour one up because I'm glad we're through Down another, top it off and consume Oh! how it hurts and I just don't get it, what a paradox [Chorus] Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box Waning into the night, wake up, still alive, use my pulse as the alarm Wasting away the day, choke up, curtain call, put my heart in a box [Bridge] The mind is a matter of duality A cacophony of ease and anxiety This disparity between truth and fallacy Just puts love at the heart of irony [Outro] White lies and sweet aughts, I never loved you Pour one up because I'm glad we're through Down another, top it off and consume Oh! how it hurts and I just don't get it, what a paradox
