Thorn

Once upon a time we had it all

Didn't know that love could be so heartless

Saw you as the one who'd never fall

A safety, you're my night light in the darkness

Listening to Stevie in the car

Always tryna find a way to drive out your problems

All this pressure inside

I shouldn't have to carry that

Never gonna give you up

But giving up is where you left me

That thorn in your side is hurting me (Hurting me)

And I'm closing my eyes so I can't see

I thought that we could have it all

I lay down just to break your fall, but now

That thorn in your side is hurting me

You're hurting me

And I can't leave

I thought growing up would stop it getting worse

'Cause I never saw grown-ups wearing plasters

But nothing could prepare me for the worst

Nothing could prepare me for the aftermath

And I just wanted you to run back in

I just wanted you to say we will survive this

You'll survive this, yeah

Never gonna give you up

But giving up is where you left me

That thorn in your side is hurting me (Hurting me)

And I'm closing my eyes so I can't see

I thought that we could have it all

I lay down just to break your fall, but now

That thorn in your side is hurting me

You're hurting me

And I can't leave

I never felt that you should be perfect

It's killing me that I'm so broken

I'm sorry I've struggled to say this

Now I'm saying I'm breaking

I just wish that you dealt with your hurting

That thorn in your side is hurting me (Hurting me)

And I'm closing my eyes so I can't see

I thought that we could have it all

I lay down just to break your fall, but now

That thorn in your side is hurting me

You're hurting me

And I can't leave
