Thorns (Alternate)

[Verse 1]
A month of silence, no hellos
My fighting spirit took the blow
But you, the lover, fell in love
With the call of wandering home
Sounding slowly like your laugh
Memory tainted by a photograph
Now I always have to chase you
Everywhere you roam

[Chorus]
I loved you for your thorns, don't love me back
I just wanted my heart built from scratch
And scratching is what thorns are meant to do
Oh baby, you've gone soft, haven't you?

[Verse 2]
I didn't wanna touch you, girl
I was just so insecure and
You were slipping, so I figured
It was boom or bust
Started reaching for your hand
But your mind was in Neverland
A land where never, no one ever
Breaks your trust

[Chorus]
I loved you for your thorns, don't love me back
I just wanted my heart built from scratch
And scratching is what thorns are meant to do
Oh baby, you've gone soft, haven't you?

[Bridge]
You're my favorite color with those opal eyes and diamond heart
Don't think I'll find another, you see
We all seek sanctuary, but we will not share another's part
But Eden's shared between you and me
You're my favorite color with those opal eyes and diamond heart
Don't think I'll find another, you see
We all seek sanctuary, but we will not share another's part
But Eden's shared between you and me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I loved you for your thorns, don't love me back
I just wanted my heart built from scratch
And scratching is what thorns are meant to do
Oh baby, you've gone soft, haven't you?
I loved you for your flowers, hold me down
Before I burn this place to the ground
I don't know what I want, neither do you
We're caught between the black and sky blue
