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
Was it something I said or something I did?
Did my words not come out right?
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
[Chorus]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn, yeah, it does
[Verse 2]
I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say, "Love's a game of easy come and"
"Easy go"
But I wonder, does he know? (Ooh)
Has he ever felt like this? (Ooh)
And I know that you'd be here right now if I (Ooh)
Coulda let you know somehow, I guess (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Every rose has its thorn
[Bridge]
Though it's been a while now (Ah)
I can still feel so much pain (Ah)
Like the knife that cuts you, the wound heals (Ah)
But the scar, that scar remains (Ah)
[Verse 3]
I know I could've saved our love that night if I'd
Known what to say
'Stead of making love
We both made our separate ways
And now, I hear you found somebody new (Ooh)
And that I never meant that much to you (Ooh)
To hear that tears me up inside (Ooh)
And to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Every rose has its thorn
