Social Distortion - Crown Of Thorns Lyrics

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus 2x]

I've been there before
