(m. jones / j. edwards / t. thomas)

it's four o'clock in the mornin'
the daylight's creepin' in
'n' i'm lyin' awake in bed

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

i looked hard into the mirror
took some water in my hands
threw it on my face

but your memory won't fade away
i see you everywhere
around this empty space, oh no

this night's too long, i'm fadin' fast
i tell myself, this pain won't last

it's just a flesh wound
missin' my heart but still cuts deep
nothin' but a flesh wound, yeah-eh-eh
tore me apart 'n' i still can't sleep, yeah
you know you really did it well
now i'm lyin' on a bed of nails
but it's nothin' but a flesh wound, woah-oh-oh

better pull myself together
i 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 still cuts deep
nothin' but a flesh wound, whoah
tore me apart 'n' i still can't sleep, no, no
i've got no choice, i must be strong
can't lie here thinkin' 'bout it all night long
it's nothin' but a flesh wound

it's just a flesh wound
missin' my heart but still cuts deep
nothin' but a flesh wound, woah
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, woah
i've got to be strong
it's just a flesh wound, babe
it tore me apart, all night long
it's a flesh wound
nothing but a flesh wound, woah-oh-oh
'n' it's cuttin' me deep, yeah-eah-eh-eh, yeah-eah
