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 [bad word] out right 
Though I tried not to hurt you 
Though I tried 
But I guess that's why they say 

Every rose has it's thorn 
Just like every night has it's dawn 
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song 
Every rose has it's thorn 

Yeah it does 

I listen to our favorite song 
Playing on the radio 
Hear the DJ say love's a game of [bad word] 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 it's thorn 
Just like every night has it's dawn 
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song 
Every rose has it's 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 the scar, that scar remains 

Solo 

I know I could have saved a love that night 
If I'd known what to say 
Instead of makin' love 
We both made our separate ways 

But now I hear you 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 it's thorn 
Just like every night has it's dawn 
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song 
Every rose has it's thorn
