Oh 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 [bad word] from every holy place
I've been beat up, robbed
I've been left for dead for the way I look
For the things I said
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
Cos I will take it on the chin eh for you
So lay your cuts and [bad word] over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing eh
Cos 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 being promised the earth
Trying to keep my head high
For all I'm worth
Outside our double glazing
I know a war is raging

I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing
Cos I will take it on the chin eh for you
So lay your cuts and [bad word] over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing oh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you, yeah

Oh and if I ever feel a thing
And I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you

Promise you won't ever feel a thing
Cos I will take it on the chin eh for you
So lay your cuts and [bad word] over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing oh
Cos 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, eh, eh
