“Thorns Like Me” is a dark yet intimate ballad that explores the idea of loving someone who doesn’t fit the mold of softness or purity. Belle Nix sings from the perspective of a woman marked by the past, misunderstood, but fiercely protective of what she truly cherishes. The line “Don’t be afraid of thorns like me” is both a warning and an invitation — to embrace complexity, darkness, and real, imperfect love.

This song belongs to the same mythic feminine universe as “Honey and Hemlock” and “Don’t Be Afraid — I’m Wicked but I Wish You Well,” completing a trio of songs that reveal power and tenderness existing side by side.

Thorns Like Me

[Verse 1]
I sleep where silence makes its throne,
In corners hearts have left alone.
You saw the smoke before the flame,
But never asked me why I came.

I’ve been the shadow, not the scream,
The villain in someone else’s dream.
But every wound you try to hide,
I’ve worn it too, just on the outside.

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t promise wings or light,
But I will hold you through the night.

[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me,
I bloom in dark so you can see.
I never claimed to be divine,
But I will guard what others mine.
So let me in — not perfectly —
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me.

[Verse 2]
I speak in truths that sting and heal,
My hands remember how to feel.
You think I love like broken glass,
But darling, that was in the past.

I’ve cursed, I’ve burned, I’ve walked away,
But never once from those who stay.
If you don’t run, I’ll show you how
Even a storm can soften now.

[Pre-Chorus]
You want a rose without a fight,
But beauty’s born in sleepless nights.

[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me,
I’m wild, but I am not your enemy.
I never said I’d bring you peace,
But I will love you piece by piece.
So come and stand where others flee —
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me.

[Bridge]
And when the moon forgets to rise,
I’ll be the truth behind your lies.
A voice that sings when no one stays,
A flame that loves in shadowed ways.

[Final Chorus]
Don’t be afraid of thorns like me,
My heart still bleeds, but beats honestly.
I won’t be soft, but I’ll be true,
A darker path that leads to you.
No need for perfect — just believe:
Don’t be afraid… of thorns like me.
