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      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, loves a game   Of easy come and easy go      But I wonder does he know   Has he ever felt like this   And I know you'd be here right now   If I could have let you know somehow   I guess      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      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   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 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
