[Verse 1]
It's four o' clock in the morning and the daylight's creeping in
I'm lying awake in bed
Outside my window the rain's just pouring down
And there's a pain inside my head
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
This night's too long, I'm fading fast
I tell myself, this pain won't last
[Chorus]
It's just a flesh wound
Missing my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothing but a flesh wound
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep
You know you really did it well
Now I'm lying on a bed of nails
But it's nothing but a flesh wound
[Verse 2]
Better pull myself together, got to hold my head up high
That's what I’ve got to do
No damage done, but deep inside my heart
Who am I trying to fool
It's over now, all in the past
I tell myself, this pain won't last
[Chorus][x2]
It's just a flesh wound
Missing, my heart, but it still cuts deep
Nothing' but a flesh wound
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep
I've got no choice, I must be strong
Can't lie here thinking about it all night long
It's nothing but a flesh wound
