every rose has its thorn

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

yeah

i tried

but i guess that's why they say

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

i listen to our favorite song

playing on the radio

hear the dj say loves a game of easy come and easy go

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 let you know somehow

though it's been a while now

i can still feel so much pain

like a knife that cuts you the wound heals

but that scar

that scar remains

i know i could've saved a love that night

if i'd known what to say

instead of makin' love

we both made our separate ways

and now i hear you found somebody new

and that i never meant that much to you

and to hear that tears me up inside

and to see you cuts me like a knife
