Ribs Lyrics by DL One Direction

Devil In The Details

2017

Verse 1:
God took a man
And made a woman out of his rib
I didn't believe it when I was young
Until I grew up to worship your hips
You feel like such a part of me
I don't know how to live
But you've hurt me so much
I'm not sure how I can forgive

Pre-chorus:
We've nearly killed each other
And driven ourselves mad
But I'm still struggling to walk away
From everything we've had
Co-dependent doesn't describe
The fear I feel of you not in my life
And heartbreak doesn't define
The suffocation of you no longer being mine

Chorus:
You're in my ribs
And i can't get you out
I know i'd survive
But i can't help but doubt
If i get you removed
My heart gets exposed
A boy and a girl
This story's been foretold
Romeo knew but he didn't retract
And Juliet knew, still let herself be trapped
I feel that I've loved you since we were kids
Didn't know you then but you're in my ribs

Verse 2:
I asked you out
And you said you don't date
Came around at seven
And you showed up at eight
Saw all the red flags
But believed they were green
Caught all of the lies
But chose to read between
Cause I've been the bad guy
That had good intentions
Was hoping there was good in you
That hadn't been mentioned
But tonight I said we should end it
And you kicked me out right then
So why am I knocking
Hoping we try this again

Pre-chorus:
We've nearly killed each other
And driven ourselves mad
But I'm still struggling to walk away
From everything we've had
Co-dependent doesn't describe
The fear of you not in my life
And heartbreak doesn't define
The thought of you not being mine
If I walk away tonight
I won't be coming back
And I'd love to believe that
But I've already heard this track
I've played it so much
Sometimes it starts to skip
I blame your poisonous lips

Chorus:
You're in my ribs
And i can't get you out
I know i'd survive
But i can't help but doubt
If i get you removed
My heart gets exposed
A boy and a girl
This story's been foretold
Romeo knew but he didn't retract
And Juliet knew, still let herself be trapped
I feel that I've loved you since we were kids
Didn't know you then but you're in my ribs

Bridge:
How can you push me out of the door
I've changed so much, don't recognize my before
I did it all for you, even tried to quit drinking
And it would've been successful without the overthinking
You kept me up so much I became insomniatic
Had me feel so crazy that I called myself dramatic
For thinking this was wrong when you swore that it was right
But if it was so right then what happened tonight

Breakdown:
You're in my ribs
And i can't get you out
I know i'd survive
But i can't help but doubt
If i get you removed
My heart gets exposed
A boy and a girl
This story's been foretold

Chorus:
You're in my ribs
And i can't get you out
I know i'd survive
But i can't help but doubt
If i get you removed
My heart gets exposed
A boy and a girl
This story's been foretold
Romeo knew but he didn't retract
And Juliet knew, still let herself be trapped
I feel that I've loved you since we were kids
Didn't know you then but you're in my ribs
