Well, I've got scars from what you've done
I'll show 'em to you, baby, one by one
I took my chances, I wanted more
I found rust, I found thorns
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you don't even know
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, it's all over
Ain't worth the pain, trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey
It looked to me, you were right on the money
I scratched the surface, I found the truth
You're made for hurts, that's what you do
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Cut me so deep you don't even know
Every time I take a step closer
I wind up tangled, it's all over
Ain't worth the pain, trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

You cut me so deep you don't even know
