Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Poison Lyrics

We both lie silently still
We are both silent without speaking to one another.

In the dead of the night
It's late at night, and it's quiet all around.

Although we both lie close together
We're physically near one another, but emotionally distant.

We feel miles apart inside
Our emotions are distant and far from each other.

Was it something I said or something I did
I'm not sure what caused our separation, a word or an action.

Did my words not come out right
Perhaps I didn't express myself well, and it led to misunderstandings.

Though I tried not to hurt you
I attempted to prevent causing you any harm or pain.

Though I tried
I made an effort to make our relationship work.

But I guess that's why they say
I suppose people say it's best to learn from the past.

Every rose has its thorn
Every good thing has its painful side-effect.

Just like every night has its dawn
Every dark time has a brighter future ahead.

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Just like every person has their sad stories to tell.

I listen to her favorite song
I listen to the music my loved one used to enjoy.

Playing on the radio
It's playing on the radio, and I can't help but listen.

Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
The DJ says that love is easy to obtain and lose.

Easy go
Love is just as easy to let go of.

But I wonder does he know
I question whether he has ever felt the pain of a broken heart.

Has he ever felt like this
Has the DJ ever felt this level of emotional pain?

And I know that you'd be here right now
If only I knew how to make you stay, you would still be here.

If I could have let you know somehow I guess
If only I could have communicated with you better, things may have been different.

Though it's been a while now
Although it has been some time since we parted ways.

I could still feel so much pain
I have not healed completely from the emotional pain we caused each other.

Like the knife that cuts you the wound heals
The initial pain of the wound may go away, but the scar remains.

But the scar, that scar remains
The pain of the past doesn't go away completely, and it affects my present.

I know I could have saved a love that night
I realize I could have prevented the failure of our relationship.

If I'd known what to say
If only I had the knowledge of how to solve our issues.

Instead of makin' love
Rather than building our relationship, we let it fall apart.

We both made our separate ways
We left each other and went our own paths.

And now I hear you found somebody new
I have heard about you moving on with someone else.

And that I never meant that much to you
I now realize that perhaps I was not as important to you as I thought I was.

To hear that tears me up inside
The thought of you with someone else deeply hurts me inside.

And to see you cuts me like a knife I guess
Even the sight of you with someone else brings back painful memories.

Every rose has its thorn
Every good thing has its painful side-effect.

Just like every night has its dawn
Every dark time has a brighter future ahead.

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Just like every person has their sad stories to tell.

Every rose has its thorn
Every good thing has its painful side-effect.
