Lyrics:

Pretty much been alone now for almost five years
I could always find a way to hide these bitter tears
Still I'm 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

Got a bad reputation for playing with love
Gonna play again now and beat the odds above
And still I'm 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 your crown of thorns

It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
