# Thorns Around Your Heart **[Intro — Whispered]** Don’t be afraid, my love. The forest only screams when strangers enter. You are safe with me. Forever. **[Verse 1]** I found your footsteps underneath the moon, followed every shadow, knew I’d find you soon. Silver through the branches, roses black as night, you looked so beautiful beneath the dying light. I carved your name into the ancient trees, told the ravens secrets carried on the breeze. Every little heartbeat, every breath you take, I know them all, darling— even when you wake. **[Pre-Chorus]** The witches warned me love could turn to flame, but fire feels like heaven when it whispers your name. So come a little closer, don’t you run away. I’ve waited through a thousand years to make you mine today. **[Chorus]** I’ll wrap my thorns around your heart, so nothing tears the two of us apart. I’ll curse the moon, I’ll drown the stars, I’ll tear down every kingdom that says you aren’t ours. My love is dark, my love is deep, I’ll guard your dreams while you’re asleep. No knight, no queen, no god above will ever steal away my love. So stay with me beneath the crimson sky— I’ll love you till the day we die. And after that... you’re still mine. **[Verse 2]** There was someone speaking softly in your ear, telling you to leave me, telling you to fear. Funny how the forest suddenly went still, funny how that voice no longer speaks at will. Their lantern lies abandoned by the stream, their footprints disappear like fragments of a dream. You don’t need to worry, you don’t need to know, just hold my hand, darling. Never let me go. **[Pre-Chorus]** The castle bells are ringing somewhere far away, but every road behind you disappears before the day. The vines have sealed the gateway. The wolves patrol the stone. Isn’t it romantic? Now we’re finally alone. **[Chorus]** I’ll wrap my thorns around your heart, so nothing tears the two of us apart. I’ll curse the moon, I’ll drown the stars, I’ll tear down every kingdom that says you aren’t ours. My love is dark, my love is deep, I’ll guard your dreams while you’re asleep. No knight, no queen, no god above will ever steal away my love. So stay with me beneath the crimson sky— I’ll love you till the day we die. And after that... you’re still mine. **[Bridge — Music Box / Whispered]** One little lock. One little key. One little world for you and me. One little promise. One little lie. “You can leave whenever you want.” ... Why would you try? **[Bridge — Building]** I gave you roses grown from magic and bone, built you a palace where you’ll never be alone. Filled every hallway with portraits of your face, made every mirror show us locked in an embrace. Call me wicked. Call me mad. Call this love the worst you’ve ever had. But when the darkness comes crawling through the door, who will protect you? Me. Forevermore. **[Breakdown — Choir]** Mine in the darkness. Mine in the light. Mine when the sun falls. Mine every night. Bound by the roses. Bound by the flame. Bound by the spell that whispers your name. **[Final Chorus — Powerful]** I’LL WRAP MY THORNS AROUND YOUR HEART, NO FORCE IN HEAVEN TEARS US APART! LET CASTLES FALL! LET KINGDOMS BURN! LET EVERY FOOL WHO TOUCHED YOU LEARN! My love is wild! My love is deep! I’ll haunt the shadows while you sleep! No fate, no death, no gods above can break the chains of endless love! Under blood-red moons we’ll rule the night, two cursed souls in candlelight! Let the whole damned world decline— **YOU ARE YOURS...** **AND YOU ARE MINE.** **[Outro — Soft / Whispered]** There now. See? The doors are locked. The wolves are sleeping. The candles are warm. And nobody knows where we are. Just you... and me... forever.
