A Cut This Deep

Oh, how far we've come

From the grace of our love

Now you're breathing in dust

From the hole that I dug

No need to poison my well

Cause I did it myself time can't put a fire out if it started in hell

So I drink myself blind to cover deeds I've done

Stumble on coal feet are burnin up

I tried to run but I aint that fast

Now I'm dragging my legs and they hurt real bad

And I lied "It wasn't meant to be"

I won't buy cause the truth ain't cheap

I'm reaching up at something I can't have

I'm a bottom shelf man and she's not coming back

Good God I'm no good

I've got blood on my hands

That I just can't clean cause they clawed at your back

When you tried to leave

Good God it's good you're gone

I tried to make ya whole, only made you bleed

Cause stitches don't work on a cut this deep

Please don't make me keep pleading

I'd do it till i stop breathing

But it'd make my pride sweat

Is that my price for leaving?

Im sorry bout the games played

I didn't realize what was at stake

Just tell me there's still an "us"

I'm a love sick addict and you're my drug

So I get stone-eyed high

To escape the truth that i should've held tight what i let loose

Coulda loved you right

Shoulda fought you less

But it's too damn late to make amends

Good God I'm no good

I've got blood on my hands

That I just can't clean cause they clawed at your back

When you tried to leave

Good God it's good you're gone

I tried to make ya whole, only made you bleed

Cause stitches don't work on a cut this deep

Could've loved you right

Would've fought you less

But i spent my words on a wasted breath

Could've loved you right

Would've fought you less

If i knew that this was how it ends

Could've loved you right

Would've fought you less

But i spent my words on a wasted breath

Could've loved you right

Would've fought you less

If i knew that this was how it ends

Good God I'm no good

I've got blood on my hands

That I just can't clean cause they clawed at your back

When you tried to leave

Good God it's good you're gone

I tried to make ya whole, only made you bleed

Cause stitches don't work on a cut this deep
