We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart insideWas 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 sayEvery 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 doesI listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say, loves a game
Of easy come and easy goBut I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guessEvery 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 doesThough 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 remainsI know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate waysBut 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 guessEvery 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
