[intro harmonica-driven, deep male vocals] [Verse 1] You left me with a wound that cut so deep, A scar that even whiskey couldn't keep. But time’s a farmer, sowing seeds of grace, And the pain you gave me found a sweeter place. [Chorus] Oh, the thorn you left turned into a rose, The ache in my chest, well, it finally knows. The weight of your love was a heavy toll, But the day you left, it set free my soul. [Verse 2] You and him drove off in that old blue truck, Thought you'd left me buried in a ditch of bad luck. But your shadows faded like a passing storm, Now I’m standing tall where the ground’s grown warm. [Chorus] Oh, the thorn you left turned into a rose, The ache in my chest, well, it finally knows. The weight of your love was a heavy toll, But the day you left, it set free my soul. [Bridge] What was once a chain is now a melody, A broken heart turned into harmony. Your leaving was a song I didn’t know to sing, But it brought the bloom to my eternal spring. [Verse 3] The quiet nights, they used to sting and bite, Now they're filled with peace and morning light. I found my footing, found my steady stride, With nowhere left for bitterness to hide. [Chorus] Oh, the thorn you left turned into a rose, The ache in my chest, well, it finally knows. The weight of your love was a heavy toll, But the day you left, it set free my soul. [Bridge 2] I used to curse the day you walked away, Now I bless the strength I found that day. From ashes risen, stronger and so clear, No longer bound by doubt, no longer living in fear. [Chorus] Oh, the thorn you left turned into a rose, The ache in my chest, well, it finally knows. The weight of your love was a heavy toll, But the day you left, it set free my soul. [Outro Chorus] Yeah, the day you left, it set free my soul, Made me whole again, took back control. A rose from a thorn, a song from a tear, Glad you walked away, crystal clear. [outro harmonica-driven, deep male vocals]
