[Verse 1]
I lost my silver shoe
In the mud by the pine
Ripped the hem of my dress
On a wild blackberry vine
Wolf eyes in the dark
But I kept my chin high
I was born in a tower
Now I run for my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the branches crack
Hear my name on the wind
Every path looks the same
But I won't fold in
[Chorus]
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
I keep moving on
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
Till the cold is gone
[Verse 2]
Lanterns far behind me
Like bruises in the haze
Footprints full of water
Fading in the clay
Found an old stone gate
With the moss climbing up
I touched the iron latch
And it opened like luck
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the branches crack
Hear my name on the wind
Every path looks the same
But I won't fold in
[Chorus]
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
I keep moving on
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
Till the cold is gone
[Bridge]
If the dawn finds me raw
With my hair full of leaves
I'll still wear the night
Like a secret on my sleeve
No crown on my head
Just a cut and a prayer
But I learned how to run
When nobody was there
[Final Chorus]
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
I keep moving on
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
Till the cold is gone
Thorn-crowned princess
Thorn-crowned princess
I was lost, now I'm strong
