Cut So Deep

I've been thinking about an old song
I've been dreaming about your eyes
I've been scheming into my coffee
Weaving stories, telling lies
And every morning when I wake without you there
It's like I'm drowning in a breathless sleep
In the moments when I see you everywhere
The world around me starts to weep
Who knew that love could cut so deep?

I've been lurking like tomorrow
I've been bitter, I've been lost
I've been searching for my shadow
At every station of the cross
And every time I think I see my former self
I turn my collar and I cross the street
And as I'm walking I can hear cathedral bells
Since when did sorrow sound so sweet?
And who knew that love could cut so deep?

Well I know it would be a sin
To say a prayer in the shape I'm in
My heart is a foreign shore
And nothing more
It'll never be anything more

So I'll wander, like a stranger
Through the fields that I used to know
And I'll deal with the dark and danger
And every which way wind might blow
These lonely words can only hope to bring to life
The shapes I see within the heat
And all these lessons I have learned about the night
Won't ever make me feel complete
Who knew that love could cut so deep?
