[Verse 1]
Lipstick stain on a cracked glass
You laugh once
Then you look past
Saying
"I’m fine
" but your hands shake
Slow spin
In a room full of heartache
Velvet jacket on a bruised heart
You throw sparks just to fall apart
Every step like a sharp kiss
You say you’re over it
I know you’re in the thick of it
[Chorus]
Cut too deep to stand still
So we dance it out
Dance it out
Every hurt
Every hard pill
Yeah
We sweat it out
Sweat it out (oh yeah)
If it’s gonna bleed
Let it bleed in color
Cut too deep
So we move like lovers
Strangers
Saints
Till the pain
Fades under these floorboard saints
[Verse 2]
Mascara streaks in the club light
You change your name for the one night
Silver chain on a soft throat
You talk tough
But your eyes glow
Heavy perfume
Heavy past
You spin fast so it can’t catch
Every joke is a soft shield
You’re a battlefield
In a thrift-store disco field
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"Don’t ask
Just move"
Body’s telling on you
Every broken truth
Poured into the groove (hey)
[Chorus]
Cut too deep to stand still
So we dance it out
Dance it out
Every hurt
Every hard pill
Yeah
We sweat it out
Sweat it out
If it’s gonna bleed
Let it bleed in color
Cut too deep
So we move like lovers
Strangers
Saints
Till the pain
Fades under these floorboard saints
[Bridge]
[Beat strips back
Guitar swirling
Whispered vocals]
Hands up high like a white flag
You surrender to the back drag
Of every ghost that you dragged here
Spin ‘til they disappear
Kiss that scar like a sweet curse
Make the bad night go in reverse
If it hurts
Let it hurt loud
Till you’re lost in the crowd (woah)
[Chorus]
Cut too deep to stand still
So we dance it out
Dance it out
Every hurt
Every hard pill
Yeah
We sweat it out
Sweat it out
If it’s gonna bleed
Let it bleed in color
Cut too deep
So we move like lovers
Strangers
Saints
Till the pain
Fades under these floorboard saints
