You Won't Feel A Thing

(album: Science & Faith - 2010)

I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled way down
To the lowest place

I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated
From every holy place

I've been beat up and robbed
I've been left for dead
For the way I look
For the things I said

And when trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us
I promise, baby, you won't ever—
You won't ever feel a thing

'Cause I will take it on the chin,
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow
For you,
For you.

I've been put on the street
I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up
Had them shot full of holes

I've been laughed at, hurt,
Been the butt of the joke
I've been lit up in flames
I have gone down in smoke

I've been stabbed in the back
While they promised the earth
Tried to keep my head high
For all I'm worth

Outside I'm double glazing
I know a war is raging
I promise, baby, you won't ever—
You won't ever feel a thing

'Cause I will take it on the chin,
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow
For you.
For you.

And if I fall here
At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing

And if I fall here
At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing

'Cause I will take it on the chin,
Eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front. I'll take the blow
For you,
For you.

Yeah everything the world could throw
I'll take the sticks, I'll take the stones
For you
For you
