Deeper Than You Know

I know you’re walking slow – hands out
I know you’re offering everything – voice quiet
I have all the facts and all the proof I need
I know I won’t have to pretend and I can just feel tonight

Sometimes I want to say yes – I’ll let you in completely
Sometimes I just don’t know – I can’t open up that part of me
The wounds are far too fresh
And the cuts deeper than you know

I see you’re waiting there – sitting on the bench
I see your sweet words trying to sweep my up – voice low
I have all the words and all the truth I need
I see in you a warm and comforting glow

Sometimes I want to say yes – I’ll let you in completely
Sometimes I just don’t know – I can’t open up that part of me
The wounds are far too fresh
And the cuts deeper than you know

I get what you’re saying to me – so sincere
I get that you want me to show you the way in – softly
I have all the songs here in my head, the ones I need
I get that you want to pull me from this dark dank alley

Sometimes I want to say yes – I’ll let you in completely
Sometimes I just don’t know – I can’t open up that part of me
The wounds are far too fresh
And the cuts deeper than you know

Wake up you say – there’s nobody left to hurt you
Sometimes I want to say yes – I’ll let you in completely
Wake up you say – all the bad have been taken away
Sometimes I just don’t know – I just can’t open up that part of me
It’s just not that easy when the wounds are this fresh
And the rights have turned into wrongs, cutting deeper than you know
Deeper than you know
