Ribcage

(album: First & Foremost - 2018)

My hands are tied
And someone gotta come set me free
I been lonely inside
Because no one ever gets underneath

Ooh, whenever you pull me close
My walls are too high
And I always end up alone
As hard as I try

That's why they call it a ribcage
To lock all of my feelings up
To make sure my heart never escapes
I'll never be the same if it does
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh, oh
I'll never be the same if it does

My lips on your skin
I know you're tryna hide all the scars
From when you trusted him
But he left you feeling broke in the dark

Yeaah, whenever I pull you close
Your walls are too high
So I always end up alone
As hard as I try

Well, that's why they call it a ribcage
To lock all of my feelings up
To make sure my heart never escapes
I'll never be the same if it does
That's why they call it a ribcage
To keep me away from your touch
To make sure my heart never escapes
I'll never be the same if it does
Woh-oh-ooh, oh-oh, oh (yeah, yeh-eh)

I never let anybody get too close to me
You never let anybody see inside
'Cause if we let anybody get a hold
Then our love runs wild

That's why they call it a ribcage
To lock all of our feelings up
To make sure the heart never escapes
I'll never be the same if it does

That's why they call it a ribcage
To keep me away from your touch
To make sure my heart never escapes
I'll never be the same if it does
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh, oh, yeah
