NYZA ORIGINALS
Boxes Unopened
She packed her life into cardboard at midnight, hands shaking as she sealed the last box without looking inside. In the doorway of the apartment she'd memorized for five years, she realized she didn't remember what was in half of them — and that felt like permission to finally leave.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I packed you in the dark
Didn't want to see your face
Fold the corners, tape it tight
Seal the past in one more place
Some boxes I can't name
Can't remember what's inside
Maybe that's the point
Maybe that's goodbye
Chorus
Boxes unopened, that's where I'm headed
Leaving all the weight, leaving all the dread
Don't need to know what I'm walking away from
Just need to know I'm finally moving on
Verse 2
There's a coffee cup in here
With your handwriting on the rim
I could throw it out right now
But I think I'll let it sit
In the corner of this room
Where the light don't reach no more
Some things die best in the dark
That's what I've learned before
Bridge
I don't need to understand
All the reasons why we broke
I just need to take this step
Off the edge and let go
Boxes unopened, sealed and stacked
I'm not turning back
Outro
I'm not turning back
No, I'm not turning back
