Breadcrumbs Lyrics
[Intro]
I’m leaving breadcrumbs behind me
You know where to find me
[Verse 1]
Bet you didn’t know
I’ve been chained by bad men in the wolves’ den
Not one of them would let me go
I love to be alone
But when I’m in your big arms
My broken parts could swear they’re coming home
[Pre-Chorus]
Little scared to get too crazy over you (I always do)
Said you’re made of sugar, I got a sweet tooth (Ahh-ahh)
[Chorus]
So long to the witches, the vindictive bitches
One by one
Watch you kill them 'cause wе both need fixing
I should be by myself, but I might want your help so
Hold on, I’m lеaving breadcrumbs behind me
You know where to find me
(I’m leaving breadcrumbs behind me)
(You know where to find me)
[Verse 2]
Think I got a glow
Something that I lost once for those long months
But you’re lovely and it shows
You're as pale as snow (As pale as snow)
Candy apple green eyes
And I’m mesmerized by the world you seem to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Little worried I’ll go psycho, kill my cool (I always do)
But you’re made from something sweet, I’ll bend my rules (Ahh-ahh)
[Chorus]
So long to the witches, the vindictive bitches
One by one
Watch you kill them 'cause we both need fixing
I should be by myself, but I might want your help so
Hold on, I’m leaving breadcrumbs behind me
You know where to find me
[Outro]
Come find me there
I’m leaving breadcrumbs behind me
You know where to find me
Come find me there
I’m leaving breadcrumbs behind me
You know where to find me

What inspired the wolves' den imagery on the first verse?
That goes back to wanting all the titles and lyrics to have the over-arching symbolism of fairytales. Breadcrumbs is about my boyfriend, who’s been the first boy to ever really treat me kindly and not make me feel like the ground is going to be pulled out from under me at any moment. The wolves den...
What inspired the imagery of "leaving breadcrumbs" behind you?
The song was written just a couple of weeks after I met my boyfriend, so at the time I was still apprehensive about the idea of being in a relationship at all. A part of me wanted to just focus on myself and be alone, but I couldn’t help but get feelings for him. “Leaving breadcrumbs” was my way of...
