Exit Wounds
The Script Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My body's numb
I'm still in shock
What have you done
My head is pounding
My vision's blurred
Your mouth is moving
I don't hear a word
And it hurts so bad
That I search my skin
For the entry point
When love went in
And ricocheted
And bounced around
And left a hole when you walked out yeah
I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wounds, when they're leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wounds, when they're leaving, the scars you're keeping
Marks a battle
Still feel raw
A million pieces of me
On the floor
I'm damaged goods
For all to see
Now who would ever want to be with me
I've got all the baggage
Drink the pills
Yeah this is living but without the will
I'm blacking out
I'm shutting down
You've left a hole
When you walked out yeah
I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love this, heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wounds, when they're leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wounds
When they're leaving, the scars you're keeping yeah
Lose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
Lose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
Lose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
Lose your clothes and show your scars
Marks a battle
Still feel raw
A million pieces of me
On the floor
I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love this, heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wounds, when they're leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wounds
When they're leaving, the scars you're keeping
"Exit Wounds" by The Script is a song about heartbreak and the scars it leaves us with. The singer is in shock after their partner left them, unable to fully comprehend what has happened. They recount desperately searching for an entry point where love once entered their body and ricocheted around, leaving a hole behind when their partner left. The pain is so intense, the singer feels as though they are falling apart piece by piece, leaving a million broken fragments on the floor. They feel damaged, like "goods for all to see." It's a devastating feeling that can scar us both inside and out.
The chorus repeats the same poignant plea for help, as if the singer is in a constant state of emergency. They feel as though they are dying from the exit wounds left by their partner's departure. But rather than hide these wounds, the singer encourages others to embrace them and show their scars. It's a message of acceptance and vulnerability, reminding us that everyone carries their own pain and that we should not be ashamed of it.
Overall, "Exit Wounds" is a raw and powerful song about the aftermath of heartbreak. The lyrics are filled with pain and desperation, but also a glimmer of hope that we can learn to embrace our scars and move forward.

And ricocheted
The love I felt for you was not reciprocated or valued in the same way, causing it to rebound and magnify the hurt
And bounced around
I am feeling the reverberating effects of the emotional pain and betrayal
And left a hole when you walked out yeah

Marks a battle

Still feel raw
Even though time has passed, the wounds still feel fresh and painful
A million pieces of me
The emotional damage has shattered my sense of self and left me feeling broken and fragmented
On the floor
My emotional pain has left me feeling defeated and powerless
I'm damaged goods
I feel like my emotional pain has made me unlovable and undesirable
For all to see
My emotional scars are visible to the world, leaving me exposed and vulnerable
Now who would ever want to be with me
I am struggling to find hope for future relationships after the emotional trauma I have experienced
I've got all the baggage
I carry the emotional weight and hurt of the past with me into every new relationship
Drink the pills
I am medicating myself in response to the emotional pain, but it is not a healthy or long-term solution
Yeah this is living but without the will
I am going through the motions of life, but I am lacking the motivation and desire to fully engage with it
I'm blacking out
The emotional pain is becoming too much to bear and I am losing consciousness
You've left a hole
Your actions have left me feeling incomplete and lacking in love and trust
When you walked out yeah
Your departure from my life has left me feeling abandoned and alone
Lose your clothes and show your scars
The emotional pain I have experienced is an integral part of who I am, and I should not be ashamed to show it to the world
That's who you are
I should embrace my scars and use them as a source of strength and resilience in the face of future adversity

I passed by Araneta a few days ago and they're playing a song by The Script. I was reminded that it's been a decade since their first concert here in Manila in 4.16.11, where me and my friends went. I was in tears when they sang You Won't Feel A Thing as their opening. It was a night to remember. I miss this song too, along with several others. This one's among the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard, and Danny's voice carries the message of the song so well. Ah, nostalgia is hitting me really hard right now.
@mari-ij4fg
wow!!! that must be nice!!!, gusto ko rin po makanood ng concert nila :((
@robynrob4867
@mari Yeah, ang ingay ng Araneta from start to finish, namaos din kami kakasigaw. They came back a second time pero di na ako nakapunta. There are fan cam videos dito sa Youtube, snippets ng first and second concert. I hope in the future they'll have an SE Asia tour at kasama ulit ang Manila, but considering yung travel restrictions, medyo malabo pa for now.
@cordonshamsey3955
They're on tour again! Sana nga they would stop by at Manila kung may Asian tour sila. 'Di ako pinayagan ng parents ko last time na nagconcert sila dito eh :'(
@rolandkimdelacerna9333
They're coming back.
@guglielmothecat5042

@elrey3594
This song is so god damned underrated. I love it so much. I damn near need it to continue living.
@ElmerFuddful
I've always loved this song. One of their best.
@marthasolomon7997

@whiskeyeyedfool
My favourite song in the history of human existence. No one other song speaks to my soul like this one. Thank you guys for such an amazing work of art<3
