It's four o' clock in the mornin'
And the daylight's creepin' in
And I'm lyin' awake in bed

And outside my window
The rain's just pourin' down
And there's a pain inside my head, oh yeah

I looked hard into the mirror
Took some water in my hands
And threw it on my face

But your memory won't fade away
I see you everywhere
Around this empty space

This night's too long, fadin' fast
I tell myself, this pain won't last

It's just a flesh wound
Missin' my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, yeah
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep

You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails
But it's nothin' but a flesh wound

Better pull myself together
Gotta hold my head up high
That's what I've got to do

No damage done
But deep inside my heart
Who am I tryin' to fool

It's over now, it's all in the past
I tell myself, this pain won't last

It's just a flesh wound
Missin, my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, oh
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep, no, no

I've got no choice, I must be strong
Can't lie here thinkin' about it all night long
It's nothin' but a flesh wound

It's just a flesh wound
Missin' my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, oh
And it tore me apart but I still can't sleep

You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails

It's just a flesh wound, oh
I got to be strong
It's just a flesh wound, babe
It tore me apart oh, at last
It's a flesh wound
Nothing but a flesh wound, oh
It cuts me deep, yeah
