Bed of Thorns Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm waiting in the dark
Waiting for a dark light
To show me the way

[Verse 2]
I'm hiding from the world
Trapped by my ambition
Drowning in my fear

[Chorus]
You're welcome to stand in my place
You're welcome to feel what I feel
You're welcome to live my life
You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns

[Verse 3]
I'm walking through the dust
Pulling out splinters
Of things that never last

[Verse 4]
I'm easily forgotten
There is always someone
Better than the past

[Chorus]
You're welcome to stand in my place
You're welcome to feel what I feel
You're welcome to live my life
You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns

[Outro]
You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome
