Cut Goes Deep

You only call when the sky goes grey

Never when you’re laughing loud in the middle of the day

You save me for the nights you can’t stand your own name

Treat my heart like a stair you just step on for the gain

I learned your patterns like the cracks in my phone

Same fight, same script, same ending alone

You say “you know I care,” but you throw that stone

Then act shocked when it shatters my bones

This cut goes deep

Deeper than you think

You just see the tear

I just feel the sink

You walk away slow

I hold what you leave

You just see a scratch

But this cut goes deep, goes deep (yeah)

You text “you up?” like that counts as a prayer

Then ghost in the morning like I dreamed you there

You swear you’re honest, but you bend every truth

Shape it to fit all the lies you dilute

I kept receipts, every silence, every shrug

Every “I’m just tired” while you pull back the hug

You say “let’s move on, why you stuck in the past?”

’Cause healing takes time and your damage comes fast

This cut goes deep

Deeper than you think

You just see the tear

I just feel the sink

You walk away slow

I hold what you leave

You just see a scratch

But this cut goes deep, goes deep

You call it drama

I call it a scar

You say “it’s nothing”

I carry it far

You talk in circles

I talk in sleep

You got your freedom

I got it to keep

This cut goes deep

Deeper than you think

You just see the tear

I just feel the sink

You walk away slow

I hold what you leave

You just see a scratch

But this cut goes deep, goes deep (goes deep)

Yeah, this cut goes deep
