[Verse 1] I kept your shirt in a drawer Still smells like that cedar soap By the screen door there’s a dent Where you kicked in and let hope The porch light hums all evening Like it knows what I won’t say Your coffee cup still in the sink Lord, I left it there today [Pre-Chorus] And I smile when the neighbors wave But the smile don’t reach that low There’s a crack beneath my ribs That I feed and let grow [Chorus] Deep hurt, deep down Deep hurt, carry me now Deep hurt, deep down I been loving you, and I’m breaking somehow (Deep hurt) (Deep hurt) [Verse 2] Mama said, “Girl, time heals all” But time just learned your name Every Sunday at the grocery line I hear your laugh in the rain The blue plate on my table Still holds one empty side I set it there by habit Then I sit and swallow pride [Pre-Chorus] And I smile when the neighbors wave But the smile don’t reach that low There’s a crack beneath my ribs That I feed and let grow [Chorus] Deep hurt, deep down Deep hurt, carry me now Deep hurt, deep down I been loving you, and I’m breaking somehow (Deep hurt) (Deep hurt) [Bridge] I tried to burn the memory But it wouldn’t take the flame Just curled up in my hands, honey And whispered out your name So I let the ache stay honest Let it sing its old-time tune If I’m gonna miss you this bad Then I’ll miss you clear and true [Chorus] Deep hurt, deep down Deep hurt, carry me now Deep hurt, deep down I been loving you, and I’m breaking somehow (Deep hurt) (Deep hurt)
