Roses Have Thorns

Roses have thorns
Why was I born
How could something so beautiful
Cut me so deep
My heart was asleep
Fell in love with a flower
Even though I was warned
Roses have thorns

You get cut and you bleed
A little pain, it keeps us true
Up through the concrete
A flower grew, but...

Roses have thorns
Why was I born
How could something so beautiful
Cut me so deep
My heart was asleep
Fell in love with a flower
Even though I was warned
Roses have thorns

So what then I love you
Whatever the cost
Lay down, let’s get lost

Roses have thorns
Why was I born
How could something so beautiful
Cut me so deep
My heart was asleep
Fell in love with a flower
Even though I was warned
Roses have thorns
