[Verse]
House is quiet like a gutted church at midnight
Ghosts in the silverware drawer clatter and bite
Your picture on the fridge still wins every fight
I drink from the wrong side of the glass
And it cuts just right
[Verse 2]
I sign the papers line by broken line
Cheap blue ink on top of a landmine
Lawyer nods like this is all just fine
Outside the sky just grinds its teeth
And forgets to shine
[Chorus]
These scars get cut deeper every time I breathe
Deeper every time I try to leave
Deeper than the first cut the first lie the first night
Deeper than the vows we bled in cheap white light
I am lonely
I am only
Deeper than the first cut
[Verse 3]
Half the closet empty like a pulled tooth gap
Your hanger swinging slow like a pendulum trap
I talk to the dust in the yellow tv sap
Ask it if I ever mattered
It just shrugs and snaps
[Prechorus]
Did you ever love me or just need a body in the bed
Was I a warm place for your cold tired head
[Chorus]
These scars get cut deeper every time I breathe
Deeper every time I try to leave
Deeper than the first cut the first word you said go
Deeper than the silence in the afterglow
I am lonely
I am only
Deeper than the first cut
