Joe Bonamassa - Self-Inflicted Wounds Lyrics






You got a lot of nerve blaming someone else for your mistakes
You got a lot of nerve to bopping up your head when you can't carry your weight
Yeah, it's a put on another late night show
Yeah, it's a put on pretending you don't know

The self inflicted wounds
You did 'em on your own
Yeah, you were first to draw the knife
Last to throw the stone
Oh, the trust in me, I have abused
Oh, take mercy on my
Self inflicted wounds

You never get away with trying to tell yourself one of your own lies
You never get away holding back those tears trying not to cry
Darling, hold on
Let me try to explain
Darling, hold on
Tryin' to own all this pain

The self inflicted wounds
I did 'em on my own
I was first to draw the knife
Last to throw the stone
Oh, your trust in me, I have abused
Oh, take mercy on my
Self inflicted wounds

I'm looking for redemption
Love's hallowed ground
I'm praying for forgiveness
And I've searched around
But there's none to be found

Self inflicted wounds
I did 'em on my own
You were the first to draw the knife
Last to draw the stone
Oh, the trust in me, I have abused
Oh, have mercy on my
Self inflicted wounds
Oh, have mercy on my
Self inflicted wounds

    Это лучшая песня у Джо. Красиво. Поэтому это песня станет бессмертной.

  2. t.... ....

    when the hairs on the back of my neck stand up... I know Iam in the right place....

  3. R.... N....

    His song writing keeps getting better every year, great tune!

  4. D.... G....

    Now that is a darned good song. 61 years old, I been around a while, heard many guitar players, this rocks to the max. Only Joe can pull something like this off. Not to mention the bandadding their wonderful parts. Wow, this is great. God bless you all.

  5. K.... B....

    Killer Guitar and Vocals Much Respect

  11. G.... D....

    OMG! I just got the best high I've ever had when he played that guitar solo. It was a warm rush throughout my whole body!

  12. �.... �....

    Музыка хорошая, а слова не вызывают согласия: полного компромисса не бывает, по-моему

  13. C.... S....

    Yes, alot of people live in denial. Blaming and shaming those whom love them. In the end, they need to take account, be responsibe for their own choices and actions. The river of "denial" runs deep, that is in egypt, slavery to the world. Hugs for all those being toemented by those whom live in their own fantasy land of dellusion. Not cool, not fun, in fact, down right horror is all it is. I will continue to pray for those lost in their own fog n' pray they wake up and repent. Amen 😭🙏❤🕊

    Пиздатая тема

  46. O.... F....

    I saw him in Cologne 2009 for the first time, when he was part of the "Rockpalast"-show. A great concert, after this summer he became bigger and bigger, and I saw a great guitarist playing great deep solos with a brilliant band in the back

  47. t.... ....

    Damn . . . . that is good! Listened to this over and over. Will listen again and again! Thank you, Joe!

  48. D.... F....

    Years ago, when Mr BB said " something special is happening here" who would have known?

    D.... F....

    Maybe ! ? !
    Is it a sensible person ?

  49. C.... L....

    GEANT MUSICAL, la beauté musicale à l'état pur, bravo à Joe et à son équipe, probablement le plus grand musicien de ce début de siècle.

  50. T.... T....

    Was it Les Paul who invented the electric guitar?

  51. T.... T....

    You know I love your voice and guitar playing. Maybe next year see u in concert. Cinci Joe. Too poor to travel. Maybe 2020.

  52. T.... T....

    I trusted my love of my life. He knew I did know what he was doing. He took his love and trust away from me. Forever hes gone and Im alone. Be careful what u wish for. Life is to short. He was only 54. This year 56.

  53. D.... A....

    Thank joe. Hard to pick just one but...this may be my favorite yet.

    R.... F....

    In the song "self-inflicted wounds" I really have to ask Joe how he knows me. This text has so much truth about me and my life. I'm just crying the whole time. Joe I'll be an even bigger fan of you song by song. Thank you

  79. j.... h....

    JB keeps cranking out great music

  80. R.... P....

    Absolutely amazing, my favorite JB song to date. Brilliant...

  81. m.... w....

    Redemption is one of THE BEST ALBUMS ever, every song outstanding but this one tears your heart out. Stunning.

    m.... w....

    What a great song

  82. r.... g....

    This guy has got it down to a tee! Man he can sing and play like all the other masters of our time. He is the total package. Have seen him live and it is better than any other live show I have been to in the last 50 years. He plays with such precision and sings with so much emotion it is unreal. Man can this guy play and sing with the best of them. HE ROCKS!

  83. M.... S....

    I am really upset with this. The man does not use the fourth finger of his right hand, and probably this theme has the strongest guitar rifs I´ve heard in the past year. Or ten years. Damn.

  84. M.... G....

    Extraordinaria canción, muy bien trabajado por donde se lo escuche...saludos desde Santa Fe Argentina.

  85. T.... ....

    I am totally Awed by you Mr. Bonamassa! I don't know how I found you but the first song was "Redemption" and I was hooked! I have watched what I thought was EVERY video out there but I was wrong! I am so proud of you that you took BB Kings advise regarding drugs and booze and chose your guitar instead. Your family made a wonderful choice for your career by keeping everyone close and building that second family around you! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CHOICES YOU MADE, with love and gratitude, Kat-tie
