Take The Box
Amy Winehouse - [Frank - Deluxe Edition] Lyrics

Your neighbors were screaming
The situation was chaotic

I don't have a key for downstairs
Unable to enter the building through the usual means

So I punched all the buzzers hoping he would be there
Desperate to see someone specific, attempted every possible way of getting their attention

And now my head's hurting
Suffering from physical pain due to the stress of the situation

You say I always get my own way
Accused of always getting what I want, implying a lack of concern for others

But you were in the shower when I got there
The person sought after was unavailable at the time

And I don' wanted to stay, but I got nothing to say
Unwilling to remain in the situation, but unsure of how to communicate that desire

You were so beautiful before today
The perception of the person has changed due to their actions or words

And then I heard what you say'man that was ugly
Offensive language or behavior has altered the artist's view of the person

The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
A symbol of a failed relationship

Put it in the box, put it in the box
Removing the reminder of the relationship

Frank's in there and I don't care
Other items associated with the relationship are being removed without a second thought

Just take it
The person is urged to move on and take the box

Take the box
A physical object that represents the end of a relationship

I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it should be
The singer is disconnected from their surroundings due to the emotional distress of the situation

I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me'you know me
The artist is unable to express their emotions in a traditional way and feels misunderstood

Feel so fucking angry, don't want to be reminded of you
The person is overwhelmingly angry and desires to move on

But when I left my shit in your kitchen
Presence of the singer in the other person's life

I said goodbye to your bedroom it smelled of you
The physical reminder of the other person's presence is overwhelming and unpleasant

Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense
The other person is deemed insincere and confusing

I just don't know you
Realisation that the other person is not who they seemed to be

But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye'
Expressing a desire for closure and acknowledgement of the relationship's end

I think I love you
The singer experiences conflicting emotions towards the other person

Now take it
Encouraging the other person to take the box and all it symbolizes

Just take it, take it
Repeating the same request for emphasis

And now just take the box
Final plea for the other person to move on and take the box

Take the box
A repeated request for the person to remove the physical reminder of the relationship from the singer's life
