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 excommunicated 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 seems to have 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
Having dreams held up, I've been 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, I've been promised the
Earth
Tryna keep my head high for all I'm worth

Outside there's trouble blazing, I know the world 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, yeah


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 stance, I'll take the snow for you, for
you
