we both lie silently still in the dead of the night

although we both lie close together

we feel miles apart inside

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

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 playin 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

coulda let you know somehow 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 thorn

though it's been a while now

i can still feel so much pain

like a knife that cuts you the wound heals

but the scar that scar remains

i know i coulda saved a love that night if i'd

known what to say

instead of makin'love we both

made our separate ways

but now i hear you found somebody new

and that i never meant that much to you

to hear that tears me up inside

and to see you cuts me like a knife 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 thorn
