Music Monday : Poison – Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song and/or video and share it on Monday.

I can vividly remember where I was the first time I heard Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison. I was at my friends for a sleepover and she played the song for me (she had recorded it off the radio).  I fell in love with the song immediately. Still love it! I wasn’t a huge fan of Poison but I really liked a few of their songs.

Poison – Every Rose Has Its Thorn

 

I just HAD to sneak this song and video in too…

“That Bret, sounds like such a nice boy”

“Hit it C.C!”

 

Every Rose Has its Thorn by Poison

.

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

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 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 a 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

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

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
