[Verse 1]
You almost turned me psycho
I almost lost my mind
I didn't know the depth yet
Of someone so unkind
Someone who was special
In every other way (Mm-mm)
You damaged what we had
But for her, it's just another day
[Chorus]
You opened up Pandora's box
You don't know what you just unlocked
I lose all control
Let go of my darkest thoughts
'Cause I see the truth, we were stacked against the odds
And I pray that hope's not lost
[Verse 2]
I've escaped many vices
Like drugs and alcohol
But I can never escape
The war inside my skull
You know that lovе's a gift
But it can also be a curse (Mm-mm)
Always the optimist
Dеaling with somebody else's can of worms
[Chorus]
You opened up Pandora's box
You don't know what you just unlocked
I lose all control
Let go of my darkest thoughts
'Cause I see the truth, we were stacked against the odds
And I pray that hope's not lost
I pray that hope's not lost
[Bridge]
Yeah, I thought it would get better
I kept my hope alive (Ooh)
But I don't wanna be the bearer
Of pain just so we can survive
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
[Chorus]
You opened up Pandora's box
You don't know what you just unlocked
I lose all control
Let go of my darkest thoughts
'Cause I see the truth, we were stacked against the odds
And I pray that hope's not lost
I pray that hope's not lost
[Outro]
I pray that hope's not lost
I pray that hope's not lost
Pandora’s Box was written by MARINA.
Pandora’s Box was produced by MARINA & James Flannigan.
MARINA released Pandora’s Box on Fri Jun 11 2021.
In August 2019. I wrote “Man’s World” first, and then I think just like a month before the pandemic, I wrote “Pandora’s Box.” And then everything after that was in the middle of the pandemic. – Marina, via Billboard.
