    The Box

    Uploaded by

    Héctor Daniel Barco
    The song is about feeling constrained by expectations and rules imposed by another person. The singer feels unable to freely express themselves and be who they are within the "box" or limitations created by the other. In each chorus, the singer expresses that they have tried to fit within this box but cannot, and would prefer to be wild and free without restrictions.

    The Box

    [Verse]
    G D
    Don't give me something to hold in my hand
    Em7
    Something else to believe in
    Bm
    Cause I'm over it
    C
    And your reason for wanting to stay
    G
    Your reason for wanting to change
    D Em7
    My reason for everything I've done to you...

    [Chorus]
    Am(add9)
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Em7
    Into this box I'm living with
    Am(add9)
    I could go wild
    Em7
    But you might lock me up
    Am(add9)
    And I have tried but I don't fit
    Em7
    Into this box you call a gift
    Am(add9)
    I could be wild and free
    Em7
    But god forbid then you might envy me

    [Verse]
    So don't give me love with an old book of rules
    'cause that kind of love is just for fools
    And I'm over it
    And my reasons for walking away
    My reasons for wanting to change
    My reasons for everything I lost with you...

    [Chorus]
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box I'm living with
    Well I could go wild
    But you might lock me up
    I have tried but I don't fit
    Into this box you call a gift
    When I could be wild and free
    But god forbid, then you might envy me

    I have tried but I don't fit


    Into this box you call a gift
    Well I could go wild
    But you might lock me up

    I have tried but I don't fit


    Into this box you call a gift
    When I could be wild and free
    But god forbid, then you might envy me
    I could be wild and free
    But god forbid, then you might
