What Doesn’t Kill You Lyrics by Jake Bugg

Shangri La

2013

[Verse 1]
Stepped out the door 2am yesterday
Me and my friend keeping the night aflame
And as we're walking in the clear lamp light
Two guys come and take him out of sight

'Fore I know what's what
They hit him hard, he doubles up
They take 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
She was the dream that kept me up at night
I couldn't face the world without her eyes
I never knew until she disappeared
My life would be a bunch of souvenirs

'Fore I knew what's what, it hits her hard
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

[Chorus x2]
