Lyrics

    She comes along
    She gets inside
    She makes you better than
    Anything you’ve tried
    It’s in her kiss
    The blackest sea
    It runs deeper than you
    Dare to dream it could be
    
    With teeth
    She's holding on
    With teeth
    
    Wave goodbye
    To what you were
    The rules have changed
    The lines begin to blur
    She makes you hard
    It comes on strong
    You’ve finally found
    The place where you belong
    
    With teeth
    She is the greatest lie of all
    
    I can not go through this again
    
    With teeth
    She is the greatest lie of all
    
    She will not let you go
    Keeps holding on
    
    This time I'm not coming back
