[Verse 1] I found your cup by the sink Still got the ring on the rim That little blue chip on the handle Like you just left it for him The porch still leans to the left Same as the day you cried I hear your boots in the hallway Then I remember you lied [Pre-Chorus] And that pain runs deep Past the bone, past the skin It stays in my chest Like a nail sunk in [Chorus] It runs deep, runs deep This old heartache runs deep (runs deep) It runs deep, runs deep Beneath the words I keep (I keep) It runs deep, runs deep Like a riverbed in July (in July) It runs deep, runs deep And I still don’t know why [Verse 2] I drove past the fairground fence Saw dust on the Ferris wheel Kids were laughing through the gates Lord, that’s the part I still feel Your red scarf in the back seat Smelled like rain and smoke I held it at every red light Like a prayer that never spoke [Pre-Chorus] And that pain runs deep Past the bone, past the skin It stays in my chest Like a nail sunk in [Chorus] It runs deep, runs deep This old heartache runs deep (runs deep) It runs deep, runs deep Beneath the words I keep (I keep) It runs deep, runs deep Like a riverbed in July (in July) It runs deep, runs deep And I still don’t know why [Bridge] I tried to drink it off Tried to shake it loose But sorrow knows my name And it won’t cut me loose If I called you tonight Would you even hear me out? Or is my whole damn memory Just the hurt you left about? [Chorus] It runs deep, runs deep This old heartache runs deep (runs deep) It runs deep, runs deep Beneath the words I keep (I keep) It runs deep, runs deep Like a riverbed in July (in July) It runs deep, runs deep And I still don’t know why [Outro] Yeah, it runs deep Deep as a midnight tide I smile in the daylight But I break when I’m inside
