歌詞

You look so calm tonight

Almost kind

Almost clean

I said it softly

Watched it land

In between

A Compliment With a Thorn

Wrapped in lace

Left at your door

I loved your little speech

So rehearsed

So sincere

I held my smile in place

Let the room

Disappear

You wear regret so well

It suits you

From afar

I meant it sweetly

That was the most

Cruel part

A Compliment With a Thorn

No raised voice

No broken form

Pretty words

Polished stem

Bloom once

Bleed then

I never had to strike

I only had to name

The beautiful mistake

You wanted framed

A Compliment With a Thorn

Kissed the air

And found its mark
