Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We both lie silently still

In the dead of the night

Although we both lie close together

We feel miles apart inside

[Verse 2]

Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did?

Did my words not come out right?

Though I tried not to hurt you

Though I tried, I guess that's why they say

[Verse 3]

Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorn, yeah, it does

[Verse 4]

I listen to my favorite song

It's playin' on the radio

Hear the D.J. say

"Love's a game of easy come and easy go"

[Verse 5]

But I wonder, does he know

Has he ever felt like this?

And I know that you'd be here right now

If I could've let you know somehow

[Verse 6]

I guess, every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorns

[Verse 7]

Though it's been a while now

I can still feel so much pain

Like the knife that cuts you, the wounds heal

But my scar, the scars remain

[Verse 8]

Alright, oh yeah

[Verse 9]

I know I could have saved our love that night

If I'd known what to say

Instead of makin' love, we both

Made our separate ways

[Verse 10]

But now, I hear you've found somebody new

And that I never meant that much to you

To hear that tears me up inside

Girl, to see you cuts me like a knife

[Verse 11]

Because every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorn
