"Thorns" lyrics

When warmth feels so good, it hurts
I gave you trust that you burned
Now my touch's filled with fear
Scared of what was once dear

Sharp as a knife, you cut me through
Naively, I ran right into you
Thought you were my shield inside this war
But you were the pain I fought

Selfishness and dirty lies
Helped you to keep me hypnotized
Begged for help when you were low
Left me alone when I needed you

Abused your power all the time
Knew how to get what you want exactly right
I took off my armor to be closer by your side (But what if)

When warmth feels so good it hurts
I gave you trust that you burned
Now my touch's filled with fear
Scared of what was once dear

You took the life right out of me
My innocence still kept you strong
Thought I should've been your guardian
Someone should have saved me then

You were too blind to see things right
But hurt me back too many times
I let you in, let me out
So much damage that your love has brought

A sadness that will never leave
A wound that can never heal
A time I wish I could erase
But you insist it's [?]

When warmth feels so good it hurts
I gave you trust that you burned
Now my touch's filled with fear (Fear)
Scared of what was once dear
I'll never let you come close
All of your weakness unfolds
Now my touch's filled with fear
Scared of what was once dear

Now I've got my armor on
I'll never fully trust someone
Resilience I was forced to build
No room to fail, you felt no guilt
A lesson I was forced to learn
If I open up, I will get hurt

When warmth feels so good it hurts
I gave you trust that you burned
Now my touch's filled with fear (Fear)
Scared of what was once dear
I'll never let you come close (I'll never let you come close)
All of your weakness unfolds (All of your weakness unfolds)
Now my touch's filled with fear
Scared of what was once dear
