Alexisonfire - Rough Hands Lyrics
Was I left behind?
Someone tell me, tell me I survived
And don't look so surprised
that I'm home, but just for tonight
With rough hands and sore eyes
Let's just live through this lie
She says I swear too much
She says a lot of things
Well I'd swear every other word if I could
For her, I'll make an attempt
Sometimes love isn't about
how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change
All my bones are dust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much
(two people too damaged too much too late)
One day my hands were too soft
One day she said, "I'm tired"
One day her clothes were on my floor
One day, empty bottles
I'm not saying she's my last
I'm just saying that she could have been
It doesn't matter how rough these hands get
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm not her man
Rough hands, rough days
Rough hands, rough nights
Rough hands, rough season
Rough hands, rough fights...
All my bones are dust (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)

Alexisonfire Rough Hands Comments
Funny how the world always brings you back 😢
Easily my fave song. Oh my bones are dust, and my hearts sealed with rust. These hands will always be rough.
so much beauty and brutality in this band
My favorite song. ❤️
Rest In Peace my love Haley white. We used to listen to this all the time.
Still gets me after all this time!!!
Who's still listening in 2019??
Im in 4097 still listening to it
Oh shit
Always my brotherin
Toni 😁
Is listening to this song self care ? :(
O'keeffe's Working Hands
Then I'mma have u explain to Liz why you thought it was ok to pretend to be me.
Seeing this live was fucking amazing!!!
One of the rare lyrics that don't come across as pretentious. They're deep because they talk about a sad truth in an authentic way. Not because the writer wanted it to be 'omg soo deeeep'.
this just popped on to my shuffle. where was I?? jesus. This is too good
Stay woke brother. They no longer exist 💔
I wanna make love to this song💕
Just now getting into this band. I really dig it. I normally listen to metal (all sorts of different kinds!), old school hip hop, blues, etc... the musicianship is fantastic. The vocalist especially is really great. I love discovering more music and bands 😁
If you like the vocalist you should listen to some of his solo stuff under the name City and Colour
Yep still hurts
..10 years later..
When the drums come in..... damn.
Shame this song isn’t as prevalent as it should be, on of my favourites
Yet another soulless spazz-core band
BRING BACK THE ONLY BAND EVER
And suddenly I'm 12 again.
My all favorite song from they
Omg this song makes me want 2 cry so much what a beautiful song
no other band gives me waves threw my body and makes my eyes cry with happiness like its finnaly over and ive won
Love this song dawg been long time since I heard it
I think what makes these bands that have a clean and abrasive singer sp appealing is that. When you relate it to love lost or otherwise. It's a mix of the good times and the bad. And can illustrate the love and the hurt so well. That's why dance gavin dance is my new aof.
Pure nostalgic! :(
F I love Alexis, all day all night !!
My right hand will always be soft
106 people that listened to this have never experienced it.
The abusive lyrics make you wonder if it's more than just a metaphor, just worried about the girl. I love AoF. This world just goes unpunished unjust too much.
I'm home but just for tonight.
The fucking memories 😔😔
this song to me is about cocaine addiction and letting down all of your friends, family and lovers
Instrumental at the beginning gives me the chills
Dallas Green!!! He's sayn he's not a perfect man n his hands are rough so basically get off his back bcuz he means well...
no wonder dallas wanted to do a solo project. the screaming really ruins a beautiful song. And i'm into screaming if the song calls for it.
City and Colour's first album came out the year before Crisis.
Thanks, I did not know that. I think its good on songs like boiled frogs but this song should have been all Dallas in my humble opinion.
If you don't own anything, why is this video monetized?
the band gets the royalties.
Luckily my woman loves my rough hands. She knows how hard I hustle to support us. She just massages away my aches and makes me feel loved. :)
The live version from the Westend festival blows this version away.
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard
Dallas Green speaks to my SOUUUL
Bruh this ain’t Lil Uzi
Forever perfect and emotionally powerful
Holy shit this one still hurts after all these years!
I agree
big time punch in the kisser
Foooor realllll
Facts lol
rough hands...rough days..rough hands..rough seasons..rough fights ..
Fuck. Any Torontonian's here? I missed all the last concerts. I only ever got to see Dallas live with City & Colour.
TaperedUgly I'm from the Vancouver area. Never saw him solo but have seen the group a couple times. I truly hope they come back with at least one more solid album and tour. These boys saved my life many times over.
I've seen Alexisonfire and City and Colour. I was front row at a show and George grabbed dallas' half drank bottle of water and threw it to me. I fan girld for like 3 seconds and then drank it because I was thirsty as hell lol
george and dallas doesnt get any better
dallas green!!!!
These words speak too true. The Greatest band on the planet
If it wasn't for Degrassi I wouldn't be here
Use to be my entrance song on wwe 2k15 on ps3
Idk y but I fucking love this song thts from 2009
MUCHOOOOOOOOO TEMAAAAAAAAAA
listing since 06 always fking awsome
it must be a long list
Aof fairplay lads
There is a weakness inside of me. But i will always be tough.one day i wll not say I'm tired,but I will always be rough.
hearing this while crying on how much hurt I got from calling me names I despite of.
read it again
It's hard to understand... someone has been calling you names?
@ghoawaynetcabo yeah bro ugly names I hate
+Shane Begg thanks man that means a lot to me.💜💜
+Shane Begg thanks bro
my myspace profile song lol
oh wow same man
Hahaa FACTs lol
I miss MySpace! It's so much better than all these other cheesy social media sites. It was far more creative and fun. I miss those days.
somehow... i imagine a specific ambiance when this song is playing... heavy rain, hot temperature, rough day, everyone on the place is wet and without much energy and... this song is playing.. like "the last song of all"
Are you gay?
+MaxMorerProductions No sir, i checked that long time ago already and i'm pretty sure i'm not gay
+samul2100 okay
Agreed 👌 I'm from a steel town and imagine those poor souls who work in those hot factories. and the woman who leaves him for being too blue collar OR because life is to hard...love how music makes little movies in my mind :)
Heard this live this summer and omg ! Plus they announced they aren't going anywhere best thing ever
when i first listen to alexisonfire... this song wasn't my favorite by far... strangly 6 years later it is... time passed a lot.
10/10 would listen Alexisonfire for the first time again.
+samul2100 I've noticed that the past couple weeks too with some of their songs i never used to listen to when i was into them
I first got into them at 14;
Songs like this only start to be relateable as you get older.
Sometimes love isn't about
how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change
to suit them
The scream after, it's beautiful to me, such an angry defeated sounding scream
interpretation
My ex hated the sh*t out of me then, lol.
Deep. But fuk dat lol
Seems the one i love i cant change enough to suit them took me a long time to give trying thanks alexisonfire for giving me and us music to help through lifes challenges
i love this song...
This song remains awesome!
Rough cock
+MaxMorerTDWC are you twelve?
They make ointments for that
All my Bones are dust right now :(
So you're a mummy?
is their name alex is on fire or alexis on fire? lol
+Benjamin Michael I've always said it like alexis on fire but i'm pretty sure its alex is on fire, don't take my word on it. but either way they are awesome, my music to break the speed limit to excluding this tune
+TAGSProle it is alexis on fire believe it or not, there name is based on the worlds first lactating contortionist stripper.
It's Alexis on fire
Love!!!
only song i like by them really
+Nox Dohring Young Cardinals / This could be anywhere in the world and this are the only ones I like.
Shame having great songs like these and the rest being painfully mediocre.
Yeah I know
+mrdanni You might also like To a Friend, No Transitory, and Boiled Frogs based upon your favorites.
The Northern. To A Friend. This could be anywhere in the world. Born And Raised.
Polmonary Archery? That song is so much like this one.
I lol'd waaaay to fucking hard at the "i don't own anything" in the description
+Austin Patterson ffs me too now lol
+Austin Patterson ... oh.. shit.. x')
" i don't own anything... my life sucks.. but heeeey here's some alexisonfire" lool
+samul2100 exactlyyy what I was thinking lmaoo
+sup yo seee its funny lmao
"I own NOTHING!!"
"sometimes love isn't about, how much someone suits you, but how much your willing to change, to.. suit.. them.."
2019 feels
back together and get wait to see them again!
what made this band so different is that they wrote music about problems in todays society instead of emotions.
Everytime I listen to them it makes me reminded that we work our bag off and no matter how close we get we get pulled back into working because to the majority of people we work for everything we have and we as humans can't have enough.
"these hands will always be rough"
Because those hands never stopped working.
+Zachary Hopkins That may be true for other songs. But this song specifically is about a break up, boiled frogs might the the song you're looking for.
+Samuel Becker And "No Transitory"
Goth instead of emo.
Definitely a breakup. I really felt this song so strongly after a big breakup of mine
Randy Martin the whole tone of this song is so incredibly emotional. from the lyrics to literally every instrument, it makes me hella solemn and about to ready to cry every damn time
Hate that they broke up.
These hands will always be rough :P
Madeout to this song too ha
Cool story bro
3:07 nearly ripped my dick off
Lucky guy. Where I live it's nearly impossible to find any rock chicks. smh
I fucked to this song😂

Scott October thank you, Africa
I wish just for once, that I could go to watch a video and NOT scroll down and see an argument. nothing is sacred.
You gaiZ R all faggits
Buckle Tongue have just released their brand new music video! They're not the biggest band in the world so it would be great if just a few of you checked out the video and shared it to a friend. :) They sound similar to Alter Bridge, Alexisonfire, Young Guns. Please don't report this as spam, and better yet give it a thumbs up so more people can see it, I just want to see these guys getting more fans because they're absolutely amazing and deserve it. Paste the link & enjoy!
