Intro

Verse 1

  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

Chorus

Every rose has its thorn.

 Just like every night has its dawn.

 Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.

 Every rose has its thorn.

Bridge and solo

 I just play ---

Verse 2

Listen to our favorite song, playing on the radio.

 Well the DJ says loves a game of easy come and easy go.

 But I wonder, does he know, has he ever felt like this.

 Well I know that you'd be here right now if I

coulda let you know somehow, I guess

Chorus

 Though it's been awhile now, I can still feel so much pain.

 Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

Verse 3

 I know I coulda saved our love that night if I'd known what to say.

Instead of making love we both made our separate ways.

  And now I hear you've 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

Chorus
