Lyric

Thorns in the heart

Verse 1

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

Hurts a little, though I can’t see

Where it hides beneath the skin

But I know it’s settled in

If nothing brushes, nothing stirs

It almost feels like it’s not there

But let the surface lightly graze

And lightning runs beneath the haze

Chorus

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

You can’t see it — but you can see

How a quiet heart can turn

When the smallest fingers burn

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

Verse 2

I never cared much for metaphors

But maybe hearts grow thorns like yours

Something buried out of sight

Waiting for the wrong touch, right

People talk about walls so tall

I’ve never seen those things at all

Sounds like stories people tell

Just to make their bruises sell

Chorus

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

You can’t see it — but you can see

How a quiet heart can turn

When the smallest memories burn

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

Verse 3

Maybe if I’d left it alone

Time might have worked it from the bone

But I tried to pull it free

Cut my own hand open — see

Did the thorn come out that day?

Hard to tell now anyway

All I know is this much is true

Only the wound came walking through

Final Chorus

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

You can’t see it — but you can see

How a man can learn to wait

While the world untangles fate

There’s a thorn stuck somewhere in me

Outro

Most pain

Fades with time

If you let time

Do the pulling
