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, 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 tryin' to hold ya
You're like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

You were shiny as gold and sweeter than honey
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 what a-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 tryin' to hold ya
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 ya 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 tryin' to hold ya
You're like, barbed wire, barbed wire and roses

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
