Well i've got scars from what you've done

i'll show 'em to ya baby one by one

i took my chances 

i wanted more

i found rust and i found thorns



chorus:

You're like a barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

ya cut me so deep ya don't even know

every time i take a step closer

i wind up tangled, it's all over

ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya

you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses



You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey

and it looked to me like you were right on the money

i scratched the surface, i found the truth

you're made for hurtin', that's awhata you do



chorus:

You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

ya cut me so deep ya don't even know

every time i take a step closer

i wind up tangled, it's all over

ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya

you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses



ohhh and i've got scars from what you've done

and i'll show 'em to ya baby one by one

i took my chances, i wanted more

i found rust and i found thorns



chorus:

You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

ya cut me so deep ya don't even know

every time i take a step closer

i wind up tangled, it's all over

ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya

you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses



No you ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya

you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
