Thorn

I thought I knew you 
Now I see through you 
You're not so special 
You've answered my question 
You're just a lesson 
And all of the time spent 
What does it mean now?
The shadow in your crown 

And your so much more 
Than a change in the tide 
The thorn in my side
I adore watching you cry 
The love in your eyes 
Like a chore 

Is there anything in there?
Empty and square 
You shout from the roofs 
You show them a bruise 
Like you've walked in my shoes 
And I thought he knew better
Than to go out and get her 
The second I left her 

And your so much more 
Than a change in the tide 
The thorn in my side
I adore watching you cry 
The love in your eyes 
Like a chore 
I know it's not real 
Your sincere appeal 
I fell for 
I felt sure 
I fell short 

And I felt alone this week
No respite or place to be 
Cos your under my skin 
Where I keep you tucked in 
Is there ever an end to this?
Am I always condemned to it?

And your so much more 
Than a change in the tide 
The thorn in my side
I adore watching you cry 
The love in your eyes 
Like a chore
