Pandora's Box

I swallowed my pride
And conquered my fears
Now the days stretch on longer
Curiosity sears

The comment I made
The question I asked
Have now tipped the scale
Mediocre won’t last

I don’t like when life
Will only stand still
Take one more step forward
If you won’t, then I will

The game won’t be finished
Until someone cries
But I can’t, and you won’t
So we craft stronger lies

I’m good and you’re great
No, I don’t miss your smile
You don’t burn for my lips
Forgot you for a while

I deceived, hurt, and broke you
You ripped out my heart
I try pushing on,
End up back at the start

As smart as we are,
And as brave and as strong
There’s a clue in our cycle:
We’re doing it wrong

As I wait for your next move,
My pulse races-stops
All Hell’s breaking loose
From my Pandora’s box
