I'm the splinter in your heart, can you feel me there?
A tiny piece of pain you just can’t bear
No matter how you try, you can’t pull me out
I'm lodged so deep, there’s no easy route

You scratch and you claw, but I'm still inside
A reminder of the love you tried to hide
I'm the echo in your chest, the tear in your seam
The splinter in your heart, haunting your dreams

I'm the splinter, I’ll never let go
A fragment of love, buried below
I'm the ache in your soul, the scar that won’t fade
The splinter in your heart, the price you’ve paid

You keep me close, though I cause you pain
A twisted love, running through your veins
Every beat of your heart, every breath you take
I'm the splinter in your chest you can’t forsake

You scratch and you claw, but I'm still inside
A reminder of the love you tried to hide
I'm the echo in your chest, the tear in your seam
The splinter in your heart, haunting your dreams

I'm the splinter, I’ll never let go
A fragment of love, buried below
I'm the ache in your soul, the scar that won’t fade
The splinter in your heart, the price you’ve paid
I'm the splinter, I’ll never let go
A fragment of love, buried below
I'm the ache in your soul, the scar that won’t fade
The splinter in your heart, the price you’ve paid
The price you’ve paid

I'm the splinter, I’ll never let go
A fragment of love, buried below
I'm the ache in your soul, the scar that won’t fade
The splinter in your heart, the price you’ve paid

You can’t forget me, though you want to be free
I'm the splinter in your heart, your painful memory
No matter how you try, I'm a part of you now
A love that cut too deep, but you can’t disavow

I'm the splinter, I’ll never let go
A fragment of love, buried below
I'm the ache in your soul, the scar that won’t fade
The splinter in your heart, the price you’ve paid
I'm the splinter, I’ll never let go
A fragment of love, buried below
I'm the ache in your soul, the scar that won’t fade
The splinter in your heart, the price you’ve paid

I'm the splinter, forever in your heart
A tiny piece of pain that won’t depart
I'm the love you lost, the wound that won’t heal
The splinter in your heart, a love you still feel
