Thorn In My Side

Your way, my way, their way
It's always your way
Why can't this be just like old times?
Why do you always find some fault to find?
You can't see the forest from chopping down trees
Can't look me in the eye when I'm on my knees
Wading through sorrow, you'd like me to wallow
I'm not that way; I'll just push you out

I tried to define my place in your mind
There's no way I'll surrender my pride
Ranting and raving, always misbehaving
Broken promises and broken lives

How can you hear me if you never listen?
You fire at our lives, but you just keep missing
How can you deceive me and then just leave me?
I've seen the signs, you're just a thorn in my side

Forsake me, don't mistake me (it's time)
(x2)

Your way or the highway
Your way, there's no way
Falling away, turning away always from you
It will never be "our way"
I want to resign from this wretched lie
Why can't you listen and change your mind?
Your words are so hollow and too hard to swallow
I'll pay the price if I see this out
Thorn in my side (x3)

Try to define a place in your heart
There's no space, just a hollow lie
Deception and malice are your only talents
Blood is thicker than water...unless it's ice

How can you hear me if you never listen?
You're stabbing our hearts but you just keep missing
How can you deceive me, then try to befriend me?
I'll tear you out, you're the thorn in my side

Release me, turn and leave me (it's time)
(x2)
