"Thorn" lyrics

I thought I knew you
And now I see through you
You're not so special
You've answered my question
You're just a lesson
And all of the time spent
What does it mean now?
The shadow in your crown

And you're so much more
Than a change in the tide, the thorn in my side
I adore watching you cry
The love in your eyes like a chore

Is there anything in there?
Empty and square
You shout from the roofs
You show them a bruise
Like you've walked in my shoes
And I thought he knew better
Than to go out and get her
The second I left her

And you're so much more
Than a change in the tide, the thorn in my side
I adore watching you cry
The love in your eyes like a chore

I know it's not real, your sincere appeal
I fell for, I felt sure
I fell short

And I felt alone this week
No respite, or place to be
'Cause you're under my skin
Where I keep you tucked in
Is there ever an end to this?
Am I always condemned to it?

Oh, and you're so much more
Than a change in the tide, the thorn in my side
I adore watching you cry
The love in your eyes like a chore
