You Won't Feel A Thing
The Script(더 스크립트) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled, weighed down
To the lowest place
I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated 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

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

'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 cleared 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, burnt, beat and 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 they promised the earth
Tried to keep my head high
For all I am 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

'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 sticks, I'll take the stones for you
For you

They are arguably the best song writers of the last 20 years.
Went to see them with my wife who forced me to go at a 2008 gig in Manchester before their first album was released. Knew then they would be superstars.
So humble all of them, replayed a couple of songs too and a bowie cover,, as they didn't have much material then. They have deserved everything they have achieved. We'll done lads.

@din1055

I never stopped listening to all your albums. I dont care how old I am, I'll be forever your supporter <3

I really want some more like this from The Script.
I miss the melodic vocals so much.

@henrey3759

This album was written so beautifully. It shows how emotionally intelligent this band really is.

Anyone still listening to any of this band’s songs is a frickin legend
