You Won't Feel A Thing Lyrics
Oh 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, 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
Cos 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 eh
Cos 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
Had my dreams held up
Had them 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
While being promised the earth
Trying to keep my head high
For all I'm 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
Cos 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 oh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you, yeah
Oh and if I ever feel a thing
And I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing
Cos 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 oh
Cos 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, eh, eh
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, 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
You won't ever feel a thing
Cos 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 eh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you
I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up
Had them 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
While being promised the earth
Trying to keep my head high
For all I'm worth
Outside our double glazing
I know a war is raging
You won't ever feel a thing
Cos 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 oh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you, yeah
And I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Cos 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 oh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you, yeah
I'll take the sticks
I'll take the stones for you, for you, eh, eh

I do agree with what's been said so far. But the funny thing is, we're still missing the alternative meaning of the title.
"You Won't Feel A Thing" refers primarily to how he will make sure she doesn't feel the same pain as he has, yes. But I would add it also alludes to the fact that it ultimately doesn't matter to her, either. "You Won't Feel A Thing" can refer to the fact that how he throws himself into danger in order to protect her doesn't impress her at all.
He's being all noble and it doesn't matter. You can't make someone love you. She won't feel a thing.
What a wonderful, inspirational song this is. This is love to its purest, willing to lay your life down for someone else, to do whatever it takes. Amazing song.
Completely agree. Incredibly moving song. :)
Completely agree. Incredibly moving song. :)
This song is amazing, makes me cry every time I hear it. This song is simple, you will do anything to keep your loved ones safe!
Amazing song. It's pretty self-explanatory. This guy has gone through lots of torment and he will never let the one he loves go through the same bitterness.
My partner is going through flashbacks from 3 lesbian rapes, We are working threw the issues right now, and that song is how i feel about protecting her always! I especially like the line about putting her cuts and bruises over my skin. I have not had an easy life and this song is perfect for both of us!!
