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, yeah, I tried
But I guess that's why they say
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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?
Has he ever felt like this?
And I know that you'd be here right now if I
I could let you know somehow
[Verse 4]
Every rose has its thorn (Every rose, every rose, every rose)
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
[Verse 5]
Though it's be 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, yeah
[Verse 6]
Every rose, every rose
Every rose has its thorn
[Verse 7]
I know I could've saved the love that night if I'd know what to say
Instead of making 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
[Verse 8]
Every rose has its thorn (Every rose, every rose, every rose)
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn, yeah, it does
