Unravel Lyrics

[Verse]
While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn

[Pre-Chorus]
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn


[Chorus]
He'll never return it
So, when you come back
We'll have to make new love
He'll never return it
So, when you come back
We'll have to make new love

[Verse]
While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
[Pre-Chorus]
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love, our love
In a ball of yarn

[Chorus]
He'll never return it
So, when you come back
We'll have to make new love
He'll never return it
So, when you come back
We'll have to make new love

[Chorus]
He'll never return it
So, when you come back
We'll have to make new love
He'll never return it
So, when you come back
We'll have to make new love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
