Ribcage Lyrics by Plested

First & Foremost

2018

[Verse 1]
My hands are tied
And someone gotta come set me free
I been lonely inside
'Cause no one ever gets underneath

[Pre-Chorus]
Ohh, whenever you pull me close
My walls are too high
And I always end up alone
As hard as I try

[Chorus]
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
Woah-oh-ohh, oh-oh
I'll never be the same if it does, yeah

[Verse 2]
My lips on your skin
I know you're try'na hide all the scars
From when you trusted him
But he left you feeling broke in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, whenever I pull you close
Your walls are too high, yeah
So I always end up alone
As hard as I try

[Chorus]
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
Woah-oh-ohh, oh-oh (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
Woah-oh-ohh, oh-oh, yeah, yeah
