Thorns

Medicated, guarded, jaded
Promise baby, I'll be worth the ride
Warm heart, cold blood
Soft touch, tough love
Burned down, fucked up
Just the way you like
There's something in my nature
It seems to rise an angel
You got a taste for danger
Don't know why
And I don't want to hurt you
I want your hands all over
But do you know how to handle me cause I
I got, I got thorns
Wear them like a crown, yeah
I got, I got thorns
You should know by now, yeah
I got, I got
That's what you get when you pick a rose
That's what you get when you pick a rose
Thorns
That's what you get when you pick a rose
Easy to love but I'm hard to hold
Thorns
Love me, hate me
Ain't no daisy
You want safety
Find a daffodil
I can't help it, why you reckless
Leave you reckless, tangled up in soon
I got, I got thorns
Wear them like a crown, yeah
I got, I got thorns
You should know by now, yeah
I got, I got
That's what you get when you pick a rose
That's what you get when you pick a rose
Thorns
That's what you get when you pick a rose
Easy to love but I'm hard to hold
Thorns
There's something in my nature
It seems to fascinate ya
You got a taste for danger
Don't know why
And I don't want to hurt you
I want your hands all over
But do you know how to handle me cause I
I got, I got thorns
Wear them like a crown
Wear them like a crown, my darling
I got, I got thorns
You should know by now
You should know by now
I got, I got
That's what you get when you pick a rose
That's what you get when you pick a rose
Thorns
That's what you get when you pick a rose
Easy to love but I'm hard to hold
Thorns, thorns
You should know by now, yeah
