Take back a little
Your eyes burn forever
When I trusted the light inside them
If there was still life in me
I'd be locked outside
If God knew any of this
Letters in a shoebox
I labeled don't open till June
The surprise lies inside
Like a punchline tongue tied
I kept my sorrow
Buried away and it's gone too far
Locked my heart out
In hopes that your hands won't reach my scars
As I carry them still black and blue
Take back a little
Your eyes burn forever
When I trusted the light inside them
If there was still light in mine
I'd be locked outside
If God knew anything
Letters in a shoebox
I labeled don't open till June
The surprise lied inside
Until the whole thing capsized
My thick skull hollowed
It played out the moment you broke in view
I stole and borrowed
Came down to the beggar that had to choose
And I was left in the bed where I slept with you
Take back a little
Your eyes burn forever
When I trusted the light inside them
If there was still life in me
I'd be locked outside
If God knew any of this
Letters in a shoebox
Still labeled don't open till June
Empty promises lie inside
And this is the moment I realized
