Thorn in my side. You know that's all you ever were. A bundle of lies. You know that's all that it was worth I should have known better But I trusted you at first. I should have known better But I got what I deserved To run away from you Was all that I could do. To run away from you Was all that I could do. Thorn in my side. You know that's all you'll ever be. So don't think you know better 'Cause that's what you mean to me I was feeling complicated. I was feeling low. Now everytime I think of you I shiver to the bone [Chorus]
