In the shadow of love, I tread a path so rough
Walking on thorns of roses, yet it's never enough
Each step a silent plea, through pain I cannot flee
For the heart that beats for you, endures its agony

Walking on thorns of roses, bleeding but I proceed
A sacrifice I chose, for love's cruel creed
In your wake, I follow, through the hurt I swallow
Walking on thorns of roses, in your steps, so hollow

With every cruel word, my resolve is stirred
To chase the echoes of a love, that's now so blurred
I bear the scars unseen, in places you've been
Holding onto dreams, where love might have been

Walking on thorns of roses, bleeding but I proceed
A sacrifice I chose, for love's cruel creed
In your wake, I follow, through the hurt I swallow
Walking on thorns of roses, in your steps, so hollow

Walking on thorns of roses, bleeding but I proceed
A sacrifice I chose, for love's cruel creed
In your wake, I follow, through the hurt I swallow
Walking on thorns of roses, in your steps, so hollow

And if these thorns are the price, for a love unreturned
I'll walk this path of sacrifice, with lessons unlearned
For in the depths of despair, where hope is burned
Walking on thorns of roses, is where I turned

Walking on thorns of roses, with a heart that bleeds
A journey of the broken, following where you lead
Through the pain, I'm cloaked, by your absence, provoked
Walking on thorns of roses, by love's hand, I'm choked

Walking on thorns of roses, with a heart that bleeds
A journey of the broken, following where you lead
Through the pain, I'm cloaked, by your absence, provoked
Walking on thorns of roses, by love's hand, I'm choked

So I'll walk this path alone, where your shadow has flown
Walking on thorns of roses, till my love is overthrown
