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, though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yeah, it does.

I listen to your 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 could have let you know, somehow I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's 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

And 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 it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn.
