Every Rose Feels Like a Thorn

I gave my heart to a

wandering flame

Thinking the fire would know my

name

I followed the heat through the

coldest night

Never asking if it was burning

me right

You were a river I couldn't

outrun

I drank from your water beneath

the sun

But some waters carry a bitter

taste

And some kinds of love

leave nothing but waste Oh love,

love,

what have you done?

You gave me the moon and

took away the sun

I loved you too much,

I loved you too deep

I gave you my heart,

you gave me no peace

Now every rose feels like a

thorn

I learned too late,

some love leaves you torn

I built you a house out

of pieces of me

Brick after brick where your heart

should be But the walls came

down when the winter arrived And

I was the only one left

inside

Somewhere between a kiss and goodbye

I lost a little piece of

my life But even a broken

heart knows how to beat And

even a lost soul can find

its feet

Oh love, love,

what have you done?

You gave me the moon and

took away the sun

I loved you too much,

I loved you too deep

I gave you my heart,

you gave me no peace

Now every rose feels like a

thorn

I learned too late,

some love leaves you torn

Maybe love

is a beautiful lie

Maybe we need it to learn

how to cry Maybe the wound

is the price that we pay

For giving our hearts to the

wrong kind of flame

I loved you too much,

I loved you too deep I

gave you my heart,

you gave me no peace Now

every rose feels like a thorn

I learned too late,

some love leaves you torn

Some love stays,

some love goes

Some love blooms,

some love leaves a scar
