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
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 favoriteavorite 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 that 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
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 a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead 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
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
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
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
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
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 that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
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
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

This song has been a favorite of mine since the first time i had heard it! If there was every any song that explins the meaning of everything in life it is this one! It's quite the cliche. Everything in life that looks beautful as a rose would, has something hidden behind it that can hurt you...either physically or mentally. One may not see it at first, but after much time, we are able to see what is swept under the rug (the thorn). Life is full of surprises, not everything is as beautiful as a rose!
ccassady you nailed it as far as I'm concerned.

Another part you might've been missing (or at least my interpretation of the song after I heard it and it became a favorite of mine) is what "cubbyblues" asked about the possible meaning of"every good thing has it's bad."

@ccassady I think you are correct with your interpretation. I also agree with 1l0vesunsets that the meaning is also that EVERY thing in this world that is good has it's flaws (thorns) and we can choose to focus on the beauty of things or instead nitpick about the perceived flaws of something. Sounds to me like in the song that was all he did to her and it drove her away and now she has found someone new that chooses to see her for her beauty instead and she is happier because of it, and that makes him hurt desperately...

This song just rocks. Yea it does.
The lyrics, "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" are (by far) the best lyrics of the whole song. It's a song about the dumpee...the one who's left with the broken heart, and even when they're over that person, it hurts to hear about them now because they've moved on and forgotten about you.
If you like GOOD music, this song is for you!!
to me this song's about how no matter how perfect someone may seem, you never know becase so unexpectedly the worst of them could come out.
I know from personal experience that what you say is true, even though I didn't think she was perfect.

I'll explain about that story later.

Regardless of how pristine a person's personality may persived to be, that individual, as well as one's self, are only human. Flawed human beings.

Anyways, this is another very interesting interpretation on this great song because let's face it, every single human being on this earth is flawed in some way, shape, or form, even if you can't see it! :)
