## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Downed all the beer to drown the voices out

Up came the sun and brang back all the pain

So the itsy bitsy spider went out to drink again

**[Verse 1]**

Stuck in a cycle, no one can tell us the way that this might go

And everyone looking at me like I'm psycho

You know you should be better, you know you gotta change

You knew I wasn't ready, I knew you'd never stay

You knew I wanted more than just your web of lies

So I'll say goodbye

**[Pre-Chorus]**

One shot, two shot, three

Feel those bad feels leave

Four shots, nine shots, eleven

Just can't learn his lesson

**[Chorus]**

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Downed all the beer to drown the voices out

Up came the sun and brang back all the pain

So the itsy bitsy spider went out to drink again

**[Verse 2]**

Creeping and crawling, head in the toilet, you might just fall in

Mama been calling, wish I could take it back, not what she wanted

Dreaming of drinking, what are you thinking?

Back of your mind be confessin'

You know it ain't worth it, she don't deserve it

Caught in your deadly obsession

**[Pre-Chorus]**

One shot, two shot, three

Feel those bad feels leave

Four shots, nine shots, eleven

Just can't learn his lesson

**[Chorus]**

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Downed all the beer to drown the voices out

Up came the sun and brang back all the pain

So the itsy bitsy spider went out to drink again

**[Bridge]**

You're on the edge of losing me

Don't make this harder than it has to be

You got until the count of three

And by the end I'm leavin'

**[Chorus]**

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Downed all the beer to drown the voices out

Up came the sun and brang back all the pain

So the itsy bitsy spider went out to drink again

**[Outro]**

The itsy bitsy spider went out to drink again
