Lyrics

I'm underground But I'm not dead nor buried I'm sleeping for a while I know that's not the news you wanna hear I'm not alone The second I reach out somebody holds my hand And pulls me from the six-foot hole You told me I deserved So say it one more time To my face Say it If you dare You could draw my blood with just a word And I'd forgive you I promised I would overlook your flaws I told myself so many times It's what's inside that counts But I never found the flower beneath your thorns You justified The poison dripping from your tongue Like it was medicine Like I was so very sick And your bile was my only cure But you lied You told me that I was someone Never worth fighting for I wonder how you'd cope if you could Only see me now You wouldn't recognise me You could draw my blood with just a word And I'd forgive you I promised I would overlook your flaws I told myself so many times It's what's inside that counts But I never found the flower beneath your thorns I was hurt And I was bleeding All you did was salt the wounds And salt my earth 'Cause nothing I could grow Was good enough for you It's taken me this long And the road out is longer still But you won't drag me back You never can, you never will I'd like to take back what's mine But you're not worth my time You could draw my blood with just a word And I'd forgive you I promised I would overlook your flaws I told myself so many times It's what's inside that counts But I never found the flower beneath your thorns
