lyrics

there’s a spider living in my bedroom
i freak out when i see him
but it’s worse when he is gone
and he reminds me of you
he reminds me of you

when he’s gone his shadow stays, the fear looms
i just know that he’s waiting
keep my eyes open til dawn
yeah, he reminds me of you
he reminds me of you

i hate it when you call
but when you don’t show up at all
i’m scared you’re lurking, and planning
the secret ways to bruise me, oh
words are knives that hurt
but silence, oh it just burns worse
and i would like to kill that spider
not keep hiding
but the guilt would be my curse

there’s a spider crawling on my ceiling
i wish i could ignore him but this panic in my chest
it twists when i look away
i can’t look away

i hate it when you call
but when you don’t show up at all
i’m scared you’re lurking, and planning
the secret ways to bruise me, oh
words are knives that hurt
but silence, oh it just burns worse
and i would like to kill that spider
not keep hiding
but the guilt would be my curse

my curse
my curse
is you
what’s worse
what’s worse
letting you remain
or letting you go
and not knowing what you’ll do
you know the deepest parts of me
and if i set you free you might just
haunt me for eternity

i hate it when you call
but when you don’t show up at all
i’m scared you’re lurking, and planning
the secret ways to bruise me, oh
words are knives that hurt
but silence, oh it just burns worse
and i would like to kill that spider
not keep hiding
but the guilt would be my curse
