I thought I knew you

And now I see through you

You're not so special

You've answered my question

You're just a lesson

And all of the time spent

What does it mean now?

The shadow in your crown

And you're so much more

Than a change in the tide, the thorn in my side

I adore watching you cry

The love in your eyes like a chore

Is there anything in there?

Empty and square

You shout from the roofs

You show them a bruise

Like you've walked in my shoes

And I thought he knew better

Than to go out and get her

The second I left her

And you're so much more

Than a change in the tide, the thorn in my side

I adore watching you cry

The love in your eyes like a chore

I know it's not real, your sincere appeal

I fell for, I felt sure

I fell short

And I felt alone this week

No respite, or place to be

'Cause you're under my skin

Where I keep you tucked in

Is there ever an end to this?

Am I always condemned to it?

Oh, and you're so much more

Than a change in the tide, the thorn in my side

I adore watching you cry

The love in your eyes like a chore
