[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
