she's got love in a box she hides
across her oceans, over mountains
waiting in the warm sunshine
she's got love
but you've got to give her time or she'll pass you by

her trust is not an easy thing to gain
she's like a scattered puzzle missing pieces from the game
you can fill the empty spaces with cardboard for now
and paint them up to look like she had never broken down
but these are only temporary, a band aid for a day
they will crumble under pressures that life throws in her way
it takes so much more if you wish her love to bloom
it's going to take pieces of you

they wait around in line
try to break through her defense
and the moment that she shuts them down
they get back in line again
she is not a prize, a trophy for display
she's a fragile human being just trying to find her way
she gets lonely, she covers it with pride
just look closely and you'll find a window through her eyes
it can lead to nowhere like a dark and twisted maze
or maybe you're the one she'll choose to help along the way

as you cross the bridges, sew in the stitches
and close every wound that you can
just don't let go when she needs you the most
and you'll find love
