[Originally by Poison]



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 

Tho' I tried not to hurt you 

Tho' 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 a sad, sad song 

Every rose has its thorn 



Yeah it does 



I listen to your favorite song playin' on the radio 

Hear the DJ say love's a game of 

Easy come and easy go 

But I wonder does he know 

Has it ever felt like this 

And I know that you'd be here right now 

If I could have let you know somehow I guess 



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 



Though it's been a while now 

I can still feel so much pain 

Like the knife that cuts you 

The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains 



I know I could have saved our love that night 

If I'd known what to say 

Instead if making love 

We both made our separate ways 



Now I hear you've 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 a sad, sad song 

Every rose has its thorn
