|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
Oh no

Another day has come

And still I don't feel ready to lock

'''(Chorus)'''

My dreams in a box

Cradle me once more

And let me feel you care

Say I'm not alone

And let me feel you

'''(Verse 2)'''

Unaware of what I should do

To make everybody smile

And say "Man, I'm proud of you"

Huh, yeah

But you know me well

And you don't want me to be

Someone else

'''(Chorus)'''

Oh, my pretty doll

Cradle me once more

And let me feel you care

Say I'm not alone

And let me feel you

'''''(Instrumental)''''' 

'''(Outro)'''

Cradle me once more, my pretty doll

Let me feel you care, my pretty doll

Say I'm not alone

Say the worst days I could live have gone

And the best are yet to come
