The Thorn in My Side Is Gone

The thorn in my side is gone
 It was too sharp for the laws of the world
 Like my need for you, I know
 It doesn't register on the scale of the world
 When they talk about strength they usually mean
 The way that blood sticks to the hand
 When they talk about strength I know
 They don't mean a touch that only love understands
 And I'll never leave you
 I'll never leave you
 Love never lies
 I swear you could see me
 I swear you could see me
 If you could open your eyes
 There's a beast in the trees
 As old as some dog in my heart
 Step by step
 I begged it to leave me with something
 'cause my fear was like a wind
 Tearing the song from my breath
 And I'll never leave you
 I'll never leave you
 Love never lies
 I swear you could see me
 I swear you could see me
 If you could open your eyes
