Boy in a Box

there's a little boy
inside a box
i keep within my heart
he's there in the box 'cuz
whenever he loves
he always get torn apart

his dad was a
loveless loser
who'd rarely part with a dime
but the little boy didn't
care about that
all he wanted was daddy's time

but daddy couldn't
be bothered
why waste my time he would say
and even though it
tore him apart
he loved daddy anyway

so he sits 
inside the box
guarding his feelings with care
wiping the tears from
his tired heart
loving someone who'll never be there
