Between My Teeth
Orla Gartland Lyrics
You say my name
I pull away
I can’t help it I can’t take on your pain
There’s a guilt in this
I taste in every kiss
I don’t know I’m just a little selfish
You need me, I don’t need you
Just admit it
I’m too broken to fix you too
I admit it, I admit it
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I, I think I gotta leave
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I can’t take the pressure of it
I can barely breathe
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
In a perfect world
I’m the perfect girl
So together always here to solve your problems
But underneath
It’s bittersweet
The more I give the more I’m feeling incomplete
You need me, I don’t need you
Just admit it
I’m too broken to fix you too
I admit it, I admit it
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I, I think I gotta leave
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I can’t take the pressure of it
I can barely breathe
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I bite my tongue
‘Cause I don’t know how to tell you
I’m getting this urge to run
I bite my tongue
‘Cause I don’t know how to tell you
That you deserve someone else
That can treat you how I want to
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I, I think I gotta leave
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I can’t take the pressure of it
I can barely breathe
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I pull away
I can’t help it I can’t take on your pain
There’s a guilt in this
I taste in every kiss
I don’t know I’m just a little selfish
You need me, I don’t need you
Just admit it
I’m too broken to fix you too
I admit it, I admit it
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I, I think I gotta leave
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I can’t take the pressure of it
I can barely breathe
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
In a perfect world
I’m the perfect girl
So together always here to solve your problems
But underneath
It’s bittersweet
The more I give the more I’m feeling incomplete
You need me, I don’t need you
Just admit it
I’m too broken to fix you too
I admit it, I admit it
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I, I think I gotta leave
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I can’t take the pressure of it
I can barely breathe
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I bite my tongue
‘Cause I don’t know how to tell you
I’m getting this urge to run
I bite my tongue
‘Cause I don’t know how to tell you
That you deserve someone else
That can treat you how I want to
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I, I think I gotta leave
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth
I can’t take the pressure of it
I can barely breathe
Oh! Please don’t lean on me
Cause I don’t want your heart between my teeth

You say my name
I pull away
I can't help it, I can't take on all your pain
There's a guilt in this
I taste in every kiss
I don't know, I'm just a little selfish
You need me, I don't need you
Just admit it
Admit it
Oh, I'm too broken to fix you too
I admit it
I admit it
(Oh)
Ha, ha, please don't lean on me
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
(Oh)
Ha, ha, think I gotta leave
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
(Oh)
I can't take the pressure of it, I can barely breathe
(Oh)
Ha, ha, please don't lean on me
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth, no
In a perfect world
I'm the perfect girl
So together, always there to solve your problems
But underneath
It's bittersweet
The more I give, the more I'm feeling incomplete
You need me, I don't need you
Just admit it
Admit it
Oh, I'm too broken to fix you too
I admit it
I admit it
(Oh)
Ha, ha, please don't lean on me
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
(Oh)
Ha, ha, think I better leave
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
(Oh)
I can't take the pressure of it, I can barely breathe
(Oh)
Ha, ha, please don't lean on me
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
I-I-I bite my tongue
'Cause I don't know how to tell you
I'm getting this urge to run
And I-I-I bite my tongue
'Cause I don't know how to tell you
That you deserve someone else, who can treat you like I want to
Ohhh
Ah, please don't lean on me
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
(Oh)
Ha, ha, think I better leave
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth
(Oh)
I can't take the pressure of it, I can barely breathe
(Oh)
Ha, ha, please don't lean on me
'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth, no
@semrose
"I’m too broken to fix you too" that hit right in the feels
@amarylily
Same omg
@ultraboombean
For me it is the 'find someone who treats you the way I want to'. Know someone I care about but I know I can never love them the way they wanted me to so we went seperate ways. Good news is they found somebody but still miss em.
@theauthor1238
@KA Suv I relate. I had a friend who was bullied at school, which really affected their mental health. But the bad thing was, they put their anger out on me, so eventually our friendship fell apart. Even though they have a special someone now, I still miss the good times.
@Caldawg97
This song sums up my first relationship perfectly. "You deserve someone who can treat you like I want to" is so poignant. You want the best for them, but you aren't the best for them, and every moment you're together is time you could both be with people better suited to each other, can better support one another. This really struck a chord with me, what a great song!
@ginime_
That’s my current relationship. We were really good friends first but I don’t think I’m suited to be his girlfriend. I have to think how to end it without ruining the friendship 😕
@lyricbot8513
@Gianna Mendiola I was in a similar situation earlier this year & I was just honest with him. We're still friends & he's dating one of our friends who's better suited to him :) good luck, honey!
@lunaharber4271
Same right now. There’s this girl. We were together and it kinda all went down in three days or so... because I couldn’t handle all of it. I knew that I needed to leave her after this three days and then we’d have a long distance relationship and I knew I would hurt myself along trying. Plus I didn’t felt enough for her. We currently blocked each other... she said she’s ready to give me a second chance and stuff but I’m not ready yet for anything at all... I hope that we’ll be able to be friends again... wish me luck...
@user-bl3fj3xk9r
@Luna Harber how now ?)
@melododie
Yes! Such a bop! Also so cool that Orla and dodie are both releasing songs on the same day! 😆
And that cover art looks so good!
