Cardboard box
Verse
I packed my life in a cardboard box
that I pushed beneath my bed.
They might as well have buried me
When they told me you were dead.
All those pictures of happiness
And the letters filled with love
Were placed inside a cardboard box
That I can’t bear to open up.
Chorus
Never said, goodbye
Couldn’t let you go.
Pushed my feelings deep inside
So they wouldn’t show.
Verse
They say out of sight is out of mind
I’m hoping that it’s true.
I’m trying to move on with life
But I’m in that box with you.
No I don’t want to open up
wounds that need to heal.
If I open up that box
I’m afraid of what I’ll feel.
Chorus
Never said, goodbye
Couldn’t let you go.
Pushed my feelings deep inside
So they wouldn’t show.
Verse
They say out of sight is out of mind
I’m hoping that it’s true.
I’m trying to move on with life
But I’m in that box with you.
Chorus
Never said, goodbye
Couldn’t let you go.
Pushed my feelings deep inside
So they wouldn’t show.
Bridge
Thunder crashed, the rain came down,
I swerved to miss a fallen tree.
The car careened into a ditch.
The lord took you from me.
Chorus
Never said, goodbye
Couldn’t let you go.
Pushed my feelings deep inside
So they wouldn’t show.
