Thorns

Lonely bottle of liquor at my bedside
To help get me through the night
Without a companion by my side
I need a distraction from the ruins that you left me in
I need to get myself together
My mind is like a bottomless pit
And my thoughts are the quicksand in it
The more I fight, the more they pull me down
So if I am going down, reap what I sow and drown
Just know it was you that made it happen

Concealed behind the roses were the thorns that cut my skin
You chose to let me in, and I got caught up in your act
When we were at our closest is when you decided I had sinned
So you left me for dead in a pool of red
And with a knife in my back

My naivety blinded me
And your sweet talk turned out to be too sweet
Truthfully, I believed way too easily, freed by your deceit
And now I am going down, reap what I sow and drown
Look at the mess you made out of me

Concealed behind the roses were the thorns that cut my skin
You chose to let me in, and I got caught up in your act
When we were at our closest is when you decided I had sinned
So you left me for dead in a pool of red
And with a knife in my back

Lying in my bed, can't get your lies out of my head
But self-control is what I've always lacked
Even now I'd take you back
Lying in my bed, can't get your lies out of my head
But self-control is what I've always lacked
Even now I'd take you back

Concealed behind the roses were the thorns that cut my skin
You chose to let me in, and I got caught up in your act
When we were at our closest is when you decided I had sinned
So you left me for dead in a pool of red
And with a knife in my back
