Lyrics
Open the Box
When I look through life
Since I?ve been around
I can?t think of a time When I wasn?t so down
When I think things are going good
And I forget all the past
I should have known
Should have understood
That the time wouldn?t last
WHAT I DON?T REMEMBER
WHAT I WANNA FORGET
COMES BACK WITH A RAGE
WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOX
I can look and laugh
I think back and cry
?cause when you got no choice
You?re always wondering why
The people that I know
The way they come and go
And the feelings that I have
Shouldn?t be so sad
WHAT I DON?T REMEMBER
WHAT I WANNA FORGET
COMES BACK WITH A RAGE
WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOX
All the laughing
All the crying
All the living
All the dying
Friends and lovers
Fathers and mothers
And all the others
WHAT I DON?T REMEMBER
WHAT I WANNA FORGET
THOSE DAYS WE TREASURE
IT WAS AS GOOD AS THEY GET
WHAT I DON?T REMEMBER
WHAT I WANNA FORGET
COMES BACK WITH A RAGE
WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOX
