  • We both lie silent, 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 it's thorn
    Just like every night has it's dawn
    Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
    Every rose has it's 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 right now
    If I could let you know somehow

    Every rose has it's thorn
    Just like every night has it's dawn
    Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
    Every rose has it's 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 will remain

    Every rose, every rose
    Every rose, has its thorn

    I know I could 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
    And to hear that tears me up inside
    And to see you cuts me like a knife

    Every rose has it's thorn
    Just like every night has it's dawn
    Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
    Every rose has it's thorn
    Yeah it does Writer/s: Bobby Dall, Bret Michaels, Bruce Anthony Johannesson, Rikki Rockett

  • Joel (: from Orange County, CaROTFLMFAO (:
    Seriously? This has got to be the worst cover I had ever heard. Nothing againt MC but some songs should not be covered.(:
  • Joel from Columbia, ScIt's official. This song is ruined. I have nothing against Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana personally it's just now this is gonna become musak in the elevators or supermakets and if it gets radio play you just know it's gonna get really overplayed to the point where you just wanna poke your eye out with a fork or beat the crap outta your radio. Ha.
