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
