about

You had your hold on me, but not anymore.

lyrics

Verse 1
First you were the girl
Who never had to say a thing
How was I to know
You’d come along and ruin everything

Naïve was I a boy
To not see you for what you were
Black widow, oh black widow
You had your hold on me,
But not anymore

Chorus 1
I’m not gonna fall for your illusions
Your black widow lies
Not the same boy you once knew
I see your disguise

Spin your web around me,
Try to lure me in
Try to poison with your venom
So I never love again
So I can never love again

Verse 2
Hey I see,
It's in your eyes your hold's on me
A child who plays too forcefully
And I'm your helpless toy

You went through my love
With a box of matches
Lick your fingers, put me out
Lighting me up just to burn me down
So sorry we can’t play,
Anymore

Chorus 2
I’m not gonna fall for your illusions
Your black widow lies
Not the same boy you once knew
I see your disguise

Spin your web around me,
Try to lure me in
poison with your venom
So I never love again
I can never love again

Bridge
Don’t think for a second
That your web will always hold
The cruel fate of age awaits you
False grace is always the first thing to go
You know, you know?

Verse 3
Naïve was I a boy,
To not see you for what you were
lick your fingers, put me out
Lighting me up just to burn me down
With your eyes, lies and box of matches
What a cruel thing to do,
What did I ever do to you?
