Every Rose Has Its Thorn (feat. Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down, Chris Cagle, Mark Wills))
Bret Michaels

Story: (42 seconds)

When I wrote the lyrics to Every Rose Has Its Thorn, it truly was about heartache and heartbreak, and there is no friend, no family member, you know, anybody, that can help you work your way through that--you have to do it yourself, and I've been able to do that fortunately through my music and through my lyrics and um, uh, I wrote this in about '86; I was in Dallas, Texas and we were as Poison out on the road struggling to become successful and I could not fly my girlfriend out at the time and, uh, we parted ways and as she started to see other people, it broke my heart and that was truly it, and that truly was every rose had its thorn.


Song: (4:33)

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 the 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 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 that you'd be here somehow

If I could have let you know somehow

I guess


Chorus


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


Solo


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


Chorus
