Well i've got scars from what you've done
i'll show 'em to ya baby one by one
i took my chances
i wanted more
i found rust and i found thorns

chorus:
You're like a barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
ya cut me so deep ya don't even know
every time i take a step closer
i wind up tangled, it's all over
ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey
and it looked to me like you were right on the money
i scratched the surface, i found the truth
you're made for hurtin', that's awhata you do

chorus:
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
ya cut me so deep ya don't even know
every time i take a step closer
i wind up tangled, it's all over
ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

ohhh and i've got scars from what you've done
and i'll show 'em to ya baby one by one
i took my chances, i wanted more
i found rust and i found thorns

chorus:
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
ya cut me so deep ya don't even know
every time i take a step closer
i wind up tangled, it's all over
ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

No you ain't worth the pain of tryin to hold ya
you're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
