Lyrics by Stan Countz
A woman's heart holds a thousand secrets
Her secret fears, her inner weakness
Her secret loves she buries deepest
She tells no one where she keeps it

It's hard to measure or to define
Like buried treasure - it's hard to find
Gotta dig deep and listen close before
You find the key that unlocks her door

She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears
Caught between her hopes and fears
That only she and God can hear

A woman's heart holds a thousand secrets
Walks a line between strength and weakness
Her secret loves she buries deepest
She tells no one where she keeps it

She's slayin' inner giants that wanna tear her apart
Loving her is a science and a forgotten art
Swings between being brave and afraid of the dark
Carries a thousand secrets deep inside her heart

She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears
Caught between her hopes and fears
That only she and God can hear

She's slayin' inner giants that wanna tear her apart
Loving her is a science and a forgotten art
Swings between being brave and afraid of the dark
Carries a thousand secrets deep inside her heart

A Thousand Secrets / deep inside her heart
A Thousand Secrets / deep inside her heart

It's hard to measure or to define
Like buried treasure - it's hard to find
Gotta dig deep and listen close before
You find the key that unlocks her door

Caught between her hopes and fears
That only she and God can hear
She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears

Locked inside her box of tears
Her box of tears, box of tears 

1000 Secrets - Box of Tears

Lyrics by Stan Countz
A woman's heart holds a thousand secrets
Her secret fears, her inner weakness
Her secret loves she buries deepest
She tells no one where she keeps it

It's hard to measure or define
Like buried treasure - it's hard to find
Gotta dig deep and listen close before
You find the key that unlocks her door

She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears
Caught between her doubts and fears
That haunt her throughout the years

A woman's heart holds a thousand secrets
Walks a line between strength and weakness
Her secret loves she buries deepest
She tells no one where she keeps it

She's slayin' inner giants tryna tear her apart
Loving her is a science and an art
Swings between courageous and afraid of the dark
Carries a thousand secrets deep in her heart

She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears
Caught between her doubts and fears
That haunt her throughout the years

She's slayin' inner giants tryna tear her apart
Loving her is a science and an art
Swings between courageous and afraid of the dark
Carries a thousand secrets deep in her heart

It's hard to measure or define
Like buried treasure - it's hard to find
Gotta dig deep and listen close before
You find the key that unlocks her door

Caught between her doubts and fears
That haunt her throughout the years
She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears

Caught between her doubts and fears
That haunt her throughout the years
She recalls all the taunts and jeers
They're locked inside her box of tears
Her box of tears
