[Intro]
Whispers in the shadows, echoes of a pain I knew
Walking through a forest, thorns pierce everything I do
Questioning the love I thought I knew
Lost inside this maze of what was true
[Verse 1]
Every rose with a thorn, a silent warning deep within
Climbing over battered branches, fighting off the doubt and sin
Words like knives, slicing through my hope and trust
Blood stains on the petals, tears turning sooner than lust
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I love her more, or am I doing it all for nothing?
Did I go wrong, or was love just a game she was bluffing?
Every day’s a battleground, eggshells underneath my feet
Living with the fear, nightmares I can't defeat
[Chorus]
This love was a garden, but it turned to a thorny vine
Cold nights, broken dreams, haunting always in my mind
Why did I stay in a place where kindness was hard to find?
Every relationship a battlefield, love turned cruel and unkind
[Verse 2]
Playing the blame game, trying to find who’s wrong or right
Narcissistic shadows, casting darkness on my light
Treating me like trash, tossing me away like yesterday’s news
Feeling like a prisoner, stuck in these abusive cues
[Pre-Chorus]
Could I have loved her less, could I have loved her more?
Was I the one to break what we had before?
Questions linger, answers hidden in the rain
Only scars remain, haunting every pain
[Chorus]
This love was a garden, but it turned to a thorny vine
Cold nights, broken dreams, haunting always in my mind
Why did I stay in a place where kindness was hard to find?
Every relationship a battlefield, love turned cruel and unkind
[Bridge]
Walking through the forest, searching for a way out
Seeking the sunlight, whispering my doubt
Can love survive the storm, can hope bloom again?
Or am I forever trapped in this endless rain?
[Outro]
Every rose has a thorn, a lesson hard to learn
But from the ashes, maybe someday, I’ll find the strength to turn
To healing, to hope, to a love that’s truly kind
Leaving behind the thorns, and the scars that bind
