Lyrics

Terrible Love

It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's quiet company It's quiet company It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's quiet company It's quiet company It's quiet company And I can't fall asleep Without a little help It takes a while to settle down my shivered bones Until the panic's out It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break Company It's quiet company It's quiet company Fooler, won't follow you Into the rabbit hole I said I would, but then I saw your shivered bones They didn't want me to It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break
