We both lie silent 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
Yeah, 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 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 let you know somehow

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 that scar, that scar remain

Every rose, every rose
Every rose, has its thorn

I know I could saved a love that night if I'd known what to say
Instead of making love we both made our separate ways

And now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
And to hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife 

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
