a thorn in my eye

(Verse 1) You walk in like the weather changed Same face, different kind of pain I tell myself I’ll be just fine But my hands still shake a little every time You laugh like nothing ever broke Like I was just a line you wrote Then erased when you got bored (Pre-Chorus) I don’t hate you, I just sigh Every time you pass me by (Chorus) ’Cause your presence is a thorn in my eye Not enough to make me cry Just enough to ruin the night I pretend that I don’t mind But it stings in a quiet way When you stand too close, when you say my name Yeah your presence is a thorn in my eye Small but sharp every time (Verse 2) I’m doing good, at least I try Got new routines and better nights I laugh more than I did before Don’t check my phone like I used to anymore But healing isn’t straight, they say Some days I’m strong, some fade to gray Guess today is in between (Pre-Chorus) I don’t want you, don’t want us Just want it not to hurt this much (Chorus) ’Cause your presence is a thorn in my eye Not enough to make me cry Just enough to ruin the night I pretend that I don’t mind But it stings in a quiet way When you stand too close, when you say my name Yeah your presence is a thorn in my eye Small but sharp every time (Bridge) Maybe someday you’ll be nothing at all Just a face in a crowd I don’t recall But right now you’re still too near Still a little too clear (Soft Break) I’m not broken Just sensitive (Final Chorus) Yeah your presence is a thorn in my eye But I’m learning how to look away It still hurts, but not the same It fades a little every day I won’t bleed for you tonight I won’t turn this into a fight Yeah your presence is a thorn in my eye But it won’t stay in my life (Outro) One day you’ll just be someone I knew Not something I feel in every room
