crown of thorns

Janet Devlin

The silence comes back round again
An emptiness where once were flames
When I fell upon your shoulders like the rain
You held me down to drown beneath the waves
It's over, almost over
This kind of passion can only end in pain

Like a crown of thorns
I can't wear this love around my heart
Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark
I wear the memories you leave like scars
I don't know if I can keep on breathing
If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the start

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-oh [x2]

I feel that every time I breathe
The oxygen is suffocating me
It's not a sacrifice we can make
To be the king and queen of heartache
It's over, almost over

Like a crown of thorns
I can't wear this love around my heart
Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark
I wear the memories you leave like scars
I don't know if I can keep on breathing
If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the start

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-oh [x2]

Parting is a sweet sorrow
But the marks only fade with time
I believe that there is life on the other side
It's over, almost over

Like a crown of thorns
I can't wear this love around my heart
Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark
I wear the memories you leave like scars
I don't know if I can keep on breathing
If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the - If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the
Start

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-oh [x4]

The silence comes back round again
