I gave you my heart
in a pretty little box
that had a pretty little bow
with a trusty little lock.

When I handed you the key
you looked up at me
and said "Baby, I'm yours forever."

A while after that
I was looking for my mask
and found the little box
in the closet under a flask.
It was beaten around, worn down,
the contents inside were all shifted about,
"Is this even the same box?"
I asked myself.

So I put on my disguise
grabbed the canteen and tried to fly
but with my feet stuck to the floor
I turned around and slammed the door.

My eyes locked into your glare
I gulped the spirit and declared
"Baby, I'm yours forever."
