Pretty much been alone now

For almost five years

Well, I could always find a way

To hide these bitter tears

Still I am waiting

And wishing somehow

I wish I knew then

What I know now

It's no bed of roses

It ain't no crown of thorns

Better than lonely

I've been there before

Gotta bad reputation

For playing with love

Gonna play again now

And beat the odds above

And still I am waiting

And wishing somehow

I wish I knew then

What I know now

It's no bed of roses

It ain't no crown of thorns

Better than lonely

I've been there before

Are you tired of being alone?

Or have you fallen out of love?

Do you care enough about yourself?

I have worn you're crown of thorns

(2x) It's no bed of roses

It ain't no crown of thorns

Better than lonely

I've been there before (2x)
