I wear a crown of thorns on my head
But I carry my troubles on my shoulders instead
See the burden running down my face
They are the tears of the human race
Crown of thorns
Cover my head with no more lies
Take my heart
Lift it up to paradise
All I want
To know you left without the pain
Crown of thorns
Hear me cry in pain
I hold a cross close to my heart
But the cross means nothing when I'm still apart
Don't keep your love locked up inside
You hold the key that'll open your mind
We are the children living in sin
We try to fight but we never win
Love and compa**ion's all we need
Though we've been running, we're gonna be free
Crown of thorns
Cover my head with no more lies
Take my heart
Lift it up to paradise
All I want
To know you left without the pain
Crown of thorns
Hear me cry in pain
