My hands are tied
And someone gotta come set me free
I've 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
