"A Cut This Deep" lyrics

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 ain't 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 you whole, only made you bleed
'Cause stitches don′t work on a cut this deep
Oh, no

Please don′t make me keep pleading
I'd do it 'til I stop breathing
But it′d make my pride sweat
Is that my price for leaving?
I'm 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
Could've loved you right
Should've 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 you whole, only made you bleed
'Cause stitches don′t work on a cut this deep
Oh, no

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 you whole, only made you bleed
'Cause stitches don′t work on a cut this deep
Oh, no
