Every Rose Has Its Thorn Lyrics

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 ev'ry rose has its thorn, just like ev'ry night has its dawn. Just like ev'ry cowboy sings his sad, sad song ev'ry rose has its thorn. listen to our favourite song playing on the radio hear the D.J. 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 right now if I could've let you know somehow. I guess ev'ry rose has its thorn, just like ev'ry night has its dawn. Just like ev'ry cowboy sings his sad, sad song ev'ry 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 of making love we both made our separate ways. Now I hear you've found somebody new and that I never meant that much to you. To hear thattears me up inside and to see you cuts me like a knife. I guess ev'ry rose has its thorn, just like ev'ry night has its dawn. Just like ev'ry cowboy sings his sad, sad song ev'ry rose has its thorn.
