[Verse 1]

Well, it's funny how from the aches and pains

Is where most of my self I've gained

But back then I never thought I'd feel complete

Without somebody's arms wrapped around me

[Chorus]

'Cause every rose will have it's thorns

And from great triumph, trials are born

And when you reach mountain tops, there will be valleys still in store

[Verse 2]

I was expecting love out of hateful people

I sought security from those most insecure

I thought I'd find my joy from the broken hearted

Then I realized my heart was broken even more

Well, I was lonely so I turned to affirmation

'Cause everyone believed me but myself

And I finally recognized that there's nothing that I lack

And I will not let these setbacks set me back
