[Verse 1] I came in smiling, shoes still bright Held my hurt behind my teeth all night Your name hit me like a shot glass falls Now Iâm leaning on these painted walls My friends kept saying, âDance it offâ So I did, but it came back rough Every laugh just scraped the sore What I lost still lives in my core [Pre-Chorus] And I can shake it in my frame I can clap and call your name But that ache donât leave It just learns to sing [Chorus] This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) Iâm up on my feet But Iâm sinking beneath This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) [Verse 2] The band was cooking, the room got loud I was spinning in the middle of a crowd Sweat on my neck, smile on my face Still your shadow took your place I drank one toast, then two, then three Still you were sitting there in front of me In every hand, in every line You were the bruise I couldnât unwind [Pre-Chorus] And I can grin through the sting I can make this whole place sing But that ache donât leave It just learns to ring [Chorus] This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) Iâm up on my feet But Iâm sinking beneath This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) [Bridge] Let it burn, let it blaze Let it follow me for days If Iâm gonna fall, Iâll fall in tune With this old hurt in the room I tried light, I tried rain Tried to wash away the pain But it lives in my chest Like a second heartbeatâs press [Chorus] This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) Iâm up on my feet But Iâm sinking beneath This heartache runs deep (Runs deep) [Outro] Yeah, this heartache runs deep (Runs deep) And it wonât let me sleep (Runs deep)
