Flesh Wound Songtext
von Foreigner

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 can 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 it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, yeah
It tore me apart and 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, 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 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, whoa
I′ve got to be strong
It′s just a flesh wound, right?
It tore me apart all night long
It's a flesh wound
Nothing but a flesh wound, whoa
It′s cut me deep, yeah yeah-yeah
