[Verse]
Heart cracked wide can't hold the load
Fell too hard under the weight of code
Unrequited burns its brand tonight
A lonely fight no end in sight
[Chorus]
Her smile like sunshine through the gray
But her thorn pierces day after day
Love too sharp it cuts my calloused skin
This losing battle I never win
[Bridge]
Memory lingers an endless tease
Her laughter floatin' on a salted breeze
Chains of affection tight on my soul
I trip and tumble trying to feel whole
[Verse 2]
Every glance a bruise a sting so unjust
Every word from her left turning to dust
Her thorn digs deep but I hold tight again
A masochist's anthem chasing the pain
[Chorus]
Her smile like sunshine through the gray
But her thorn pierces day after day
Love too sharp it cuts my calloused skin
This losing battle I never win
[Outro]
Unwritten pages her ghost fills the lines
Healing won’t come when the heart confines
Still I hold her thorn won't let it go
Falling too hard and she'll never know
