Lyrics:

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 and 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 of trying to hold you
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 hurting, 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 of trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses


Oh, and I've got scars from what you've done
And I'll show 'em to you, baby, one by one
I took my chances, I wanted more
I found rust and 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 of trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses
Ain't worth the pain of trying to hold you
You're like barbed wire, barbed wire and roses


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