Was eating some good ice cream at my next door neighbor’s room while watching a flick on the boob tube when this song came up that I had to stop and google it right away.
‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’ was released two years after I was born by the American glam metal band Poision. A long time, I wonder how the 80s seemed to be a good year to live in; late 80s, to be exact. Though I’m not that much of a fan of hardcore rock, I like these power ballads better which reminds me of Guns n’ Roses’ Patience or like any other teenage boy who fantasized about Alicia Silverstone in those classic Aerosmith videos. MTV was ‘the bomb’ until it blew up.
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Poision
We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night.
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin’ I said or somethin’ I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho’ I tried not to hurt you
Tho’ 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 a sad, sad song
Every rose has it’s thorn
Yea it does
I listen to your favorite song
Playin’ on the radio
Hear the DJ say love’s a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know you’d be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess
Every rose has it’s thorn
Just like every night has it’s dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has it’s thorn
Though it’s been awhile 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 our love that night
If I’d known what to say
Instead of makin’ love
We both made our separate ways
Now I hear you’ve 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
Every rose has it’s thorn
Just like every night has it’s dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has it’s thorn
