  • Step out the door two a.m. yesterday
    Me and my friend keeping the night aflame
    And as we're walking in the clear night blind
    Two guys come up and take him out of sight

    All I know is one thing they hit him hard he doubles up
    They takes his money and they run and all I can do is watch them go
    His hands are round his nose
    His blood is on his clothes

    What doesn't kill ya
    What doesn't hurt
    Sometimes you feel you're up against the world
    What doesn't kill ya
    What doesn't break
    This life it seems
    Can bring you to your knees
    You try you bleed then finally you breathe

    She was the dream that kept me up at night
    I couldn't face the world without her eyes
    I never knew it till she disappeared
    My life would be a bunch of souvenirs
    All I know is what it is her heart she doubles up
    She packs her bag and then she runs and all I can do is watch her go
    I've lost all I own

    What doesn't kill ya
    What doesn't hurt
    Sometimes you feel you're up against the world
    What doesn't kill ya
    What doesn't break
    This life it seems
    Can bring you to your knees
    You try you bleed then finally you breathe

    What doesn't kill ya
    What doesn't hurt
    Sometimes you feel you're up against the world
    What doesn't kill ya
    What doesn't break
    This life it seems
    Can bring you to your knees
    You try you bleed then finally you breathe Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
