We both lie silently still

in the dead of the night

although we both

lie close together

we feel miles apart inside

Was it somethin' I... said

or somethin' 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

Eve...ry rose has its thorn

just like eve...ry night

has its dawn...

Just like eve...ry cowboy

sings a sad, sad song

every rose has its thorn...

yeah, it does

I listen to

our favourite song

playin' 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

eve...ry rose has its thorn

just like eve...ry night

has its dawn...

Just like eve...ry 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 a knife that cuts you

the wound heals

but the scar

that scar remains.....

I know I could have saved

a love that night

if I'd known what to say

'stead of makin' love

we both

made our separate ways

And 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

eve...ry rose has its thorn

just like eve...ry night

has its dawn...

Just like eve...ry cowboy

sings a sad, sad song

every rose has its thorn.....
