The Thorn In My Side Is Gone

The thorn in my side is gone

It was too busy for the laws of the world

Like my need for you

It doesn't register on the scale of the world

When they talk about the strength they usually mean

The way blood sticks to the hand

When they talk about strength I know

They don't mean a touch that only love understands

I'll never leave you

Love never lies

I swear you could see me

If you could open your eyes

There's a beast in the trees

Dogging my heart,

step by step

I begged it to leave me with something

'Cause my fear was like a wind

Tearing the song from my breath

I'll never leave you

Love never lies

I swear you could see me

If you could open your eyes
