[Verse 1] Got a crack in my chest That the rain can't hide Been carryin' this hurt Like a stone inside Your name still lingers On my old back door I heard it in the floorboards I heard it in the pour [Pre-Chorus] But I been learnin' How to breathe again Let that old sorrow Drift down my skin [Chorus] Deep river heartache You don't own me now Deep river heartache I'm risin' somehow (I'm risin' somehow) Deep river heartache You can't keep me down [Verse 2] I burned your letters In a tin plate pan Watched the blue smoke curl up From my trembling hand The house was quiet Like it knew the truth That every broken piece of me Still would bloom for you [Pre-Chorus] I been walkin' Through the dark alone Found a little mercy In my weary bones [Chorus] Deep river heartache You don't own me now Deep river heartache I'm risin' somehow (I'm risin' somehow) Deep river heartache You can't keep me down [Bridge] I cried till my pillow Couldn't take no more Then I heard my own feet On the kitchen floor I said, baby, baby You can leave me scarred But you can't take the light Out of this hard-won heart [Chorus] Deep river heartache You don't own me now Deep river heartache I'm risin' somehow (Risin' somehow) Deep river heartache You can't keep me down [Outro] I got a heart that bends But it won't break clean I got a heart that hurts Still I know what I mean Deep river heartache I'm comin' around (Deep river heartache) I'm risin' somehow
