The Path Of Thorns Lyrics - Solace - Sarah Mclachlan

I knew you wanted to tell me 

In your voice there was something wrong 

But if you would turn your face away from me 

You cannot tell me you're so strong 

Just let me ask of you one small thing 

As we have shared so many tears 

With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long 

Now are scattered on the wind 

[Chorus] 

In the terms of endearment 

In the terms of the life that you love 

In the terms of the years that pass you by 

In the terms of the reasons why 

Through the years I've grown to love you 

Though your commitment to most would offend 

But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride 

Waiting for you to give in 

You never really tried or so it seems 

I've had much more than myself to blame 

I've had enough of trying everything 

And this time it is the end 

[Chorus] 

There's no more coming back this way 

The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns 

They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes 

Cast aside to be forlorn 

In the terms of endearment 

In the terms of the life that you love 

In the terms of the years that pass you by 

In the terms of all the reasons why 

In the terms of endearment 

In the terms of the life that you love 

In the terms of the years that pass you by 

In the terms all the reasons why 

Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do 

Seems to make no difference to you, at all 

Ah, ah
