The Thorn in My Side Is Gone

When they talk about strength I know
The way that blood sticks to the hand

When they talk about strength they usually mean
Step by step, I begged it to leave me with something
They don't mean a touch that only love understands
Tearing the song from my breath

Like my need for you, I know
It doesn't register on the scale of the world
I swear you could see me, I swear you could see me
There's a beast in the trees

As old as some dog in my heart
'Cause my fear was like a wind
And I'll never leave you, I'll never leave you, love never lies
And I'll never leave you, I'll never leave you, love never lies
If you could open your eyes, if you could open your eyes
If you could open your eyes

I swear you could see me, I swear you could see me
