Well Ive got scars from what youve done
Ill show em to ya baby one by one
I took my chances, I wanted more
I found rust and I found thorns, youre like

Barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you dont even know
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, its all over
Aint worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
Youre like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey
It looked to me like you were right on the money
I scratched the surface, I found the truth
Youre made for hurtin
Thats whata you do, youre like

Barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you dont even know
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, its all over
Aint worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
Youre like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

Oh and Ive got scars from what youve done
And Ill show em to ya baby one by one
I took my chances, I wanted more
I found rust and I found thorns, youre like

Barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you dont even know
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, its all over
Aint worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
Youre like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Aint worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
Youre like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

No you aint worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
Youre like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
