The thorn in my side is gone It was too sharp for the laws of the world Like my need for you It doesn't register on the scale of the world When they talk about the strength they usually mean The way blood sticks to the hand When they talk about strength I know They don't mean a touch that only love understands I'll never leave you Love never lies I swear you could see me If you could open your eyes There's a beast in the trees Dogging my heart, step by step I begged it to leave me with something 'Cause my fear was like a wind Tearing the song from my breath I'll never leave you Love never lies I swear you could see me If you could open your eyes
