We tried for so long
We tried to make it work
We both knew it was wrong
And time was all it took
Slowly all we build just tumbled down
Finally our hopes just hit the ground
Our lives fit in boxes of paradoxes
And all the joys and fears
We felt throughout the years
There's photographs of those times gone past
And those people trapped within
They watched it all begin
There's stories unfolding
Now no one hears
Our lives fit in boxes labelled hers and his
I try to keep it quiet
I try to let you sleep
We've not shared our bed
In oh so many weeks
If I was strong
I'd know you have to go
A bird in a cage
Has no room to grow
Our lives fit in boxes of paradoxes
And all the joys and fears
We felt throughout the years
There's photographs of those times gone past
And those people trapped within
They watched it all begin
There's stories unfolding
Now no one hears
Our lives fit in boxes labelled hers and his
