Lyrics
[verse 1]
The first one's not bad
Yeah, I've had worse than
This before
It only hurts a little
Going in
But it's never been
Too much to handle
Until it happens again
And again, and again, and again
With my patience
Growing thin
Am I going mad
Or I just dying by…
[chorus]
A Thousand Little Pricks
Each one stings harder than the last
A Thousand Little Pricks
Each one reminding me of the past
All of the pain
All of the time
No matter
How hard I tried
Doesn't matter what I do
[verse 2]
Push it through now
Let me see it
One more time
It's not because
I like it
It's because
It's so goddamn familiar
I need you to drive it again
And again, and again, and again
Oh so deep
Underneath the skin
Just when I thought I was done
You come at me with…
[chorus]
A Thousand Little Pricks
Each one stings harder than the last
A Thousand Little Pricks
Each one reminding me of the past
All of the pain
All of the time
No matter
How hard I tried
Doesn't matter what I do
[bridge]
Never again
(Will I ask just where I stand)
Never again
(For you to stay your hand)
Never again will I look you in the eyes
And beg for forgiveness just one more time
[chorus 2]
A Thousand Little Pricks
Each one stings harder than the last
A Thousand Little Pricks
Each one reminding me of the past
All of the pain
All of the time
Cause it doesn't matter
How hard I tried
Cause I'll never be good enough for you
