[Verse 1] I left your shirt on the chair Still smelled like rain and gin I tried to act brand new But the hurt came right back in Your key still in my bowl Like a thorn I can't lay down Every room in this old house Keeps turning me around [Pre-Chorus] I laugh, then I break I mend, then I bleed You buried that love deep Right under me [Chorus] Deep, deep heartache Runs like a black mud river Deep, deep heartache Lord, it shakes me when I quiver I loved you true Now I pay that bitter trade Deep, deep heartache Ain't never gone away (never gone away) [Verse 2] Your name on a diner cup Your coat in a secondhand store I saw your shadow in the glass And I wanted more, more, more I told myself be strong Let that memory fade But the moon hit the windshield And I was yours again that day [Pre-Chorus] I laugh, then I break I mend, then I bleed You buried that love deep Right under me [Chorus] Deep, deep heartache Runs like a black mud river Deep, deep heartache Lord, it shakes me when I quiver I loved you true Now I pay that bitter trade Deep, deep heartache Ain't never gone away (never gone away) [Bridge] If I could pull the thread Out of this worn-out flame I'd stitch up my chest And stop calling your name But this hurt got roots And it twists too tight I carry your goodbye Like a blade tonight [Chorus] Deep, deep heartache Runs like a black mud river Deep, deep heartache Lord, it shakes me when I quiver I loved you true Now I pay that bitter trade Deep, deep heartache Ain't never gone away (never gone away)
