Pull out that thorn
Just get it overwith
You don't have to give so much anymore
The guilt you've worn
Has been drowning you
Pull out that thorn
You're tattered and torn
What do they expect from you
You don't have to give so much anymore
Since the day you were born
Your contempt has been growing
Pull out that thorn
The vultures may scorn
Let them say what they will
You don't have to give so much anymore
Define your boundaries and defend them
Allow no room in your life for ticks and leeches
Pull out that thorn
You don't have to give so much anymore
