[Verse 1]
Feeling lost again, I'm feeling down
I'm suffocating while you watch me drown
Like a candle, flickering weak
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to speak

[Chorus]
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad

[Verse 2]
Trapped in a cycle of pain profound
You are so deaf to my moanful sound
I had a feeling, I just knew
This is my doing, I just let you

[Pre-Chorus]
A curse that brings happiness and sorrow
A light that shines today but fades tomorrow
We trust and give our hearts away
To those who ignore our needs everyday

[Chorus]
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
[Bridge]
Cut me open and see
The raw version of me
Cut me open and see
The raw version of me
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
Like a double-ended sword
So much work with no reward
Cut me open and see the shades of blue
A reflection of the pain I've been through
The pain I've been through, see the shades of blue
I had a feeling, I just knew
This is my doing, I just let you
This is my doing, I just let you

[Chorus]
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
Like a double-ended sword
So much work with no reward

[Outro]
Love! A thorny rose with petals red
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
Like a double-ended sword
So much work with no reward
