Discover the story of the song > “Box in a Heart” – The Maine

The song is about a person (referred to as 'he') who is pretending to be okay, but is actually struggling with their emotions. They hide their true feelings in a box and have locked it away. Their home feels like a prison and they only feel alive when they feel like dying. Their partner (referred to as 'she') knows that they are lying and wants them to be honest about their emotions. The song encourages the protagonist to express their emotions and promises that better days are ahead.
