Bernice Marsala : Music Box Lyrics

"Music Box"

Leavin’ doesn’t mean that you walked away

Your mind is elsewhere but your body stayed

I have to keep remindin’ myself I’m alive

‘Cause I’m on the inside lookin’ out while someone else drives

And Ooh, I’ll try anything to be whole

But accept the things I can’t control

I’m not really here, these hands don’t feel like mine

Always ache inside, but pretend to be fine

Breaking doesn’t mean that you can’t be fixed

But I can’t be expected to get over it so quick

If I have to keep floating on the surface

Then I’m gonna need more than to be polished and repurposed

Ooh, I’ll try anything to be whole

To quit existing like some out-of-bodied soul

I’m not really here, these hands don’t feel like mine

Always ache inside, but pretend to be fine

I look in the mirror feeling things I can’t define

I’m like a music box dancer that’s starting to unwind

I’m not really here no matter how I try

I’m not really here (I’m not really here)

I’m not really here (I’m not really here)

I’m not really here

No matter how I

No matter how I

No matter how

I look in the mirror feeling I can’t define

I’m like a music box dancer that’s starting to unwind

I’m not really here no matter how I (try)

No matter how I

No matter how I try
