Chorus The wounds are deep and I’m still not fine But I’ll claim this ache until the end of time 'cause It's what I have to do And baby I’m here for you (ooh) The pain goes deep and I’m still not fine I’m wearing the scars and I’m doing just alright 'cause Oh, baby I hurt (ooh) But baby I’m here to make it work Verse 1 I’m just watching the backyard overgrown and wild, Listening to the neighbor’s kid act like a child You say weather’s breaking, but I’ll stay in the shade Just a little bit tangled in the plans that we made. I’m speaking from the deep end, the water’s pretty still No "snapping out of it," I’ve lost the climbing will You think I’m missing out 'cause I’m lying on the floor? I’m just finding all the things I used to ignore. Chorus The wounds are deep and I’m still not fine But I’ll claim this ache until the end of time 'cause It's what I have to do And baby I’m here for you (ooh) The pain goes deep and I’m still not fine I’m wearing the scars and I’m doing just alright 'cause Oh, baby I hurt (ooh) But baby I’m here to make it work Verse 2 I’m letting the screen door hang a little open How do you fix the words that stay unspoken? How do you keep the pace when the rhythm’s broken? Oh, let the heavy feeling be the only thing I’m soaking. I’m just leaning my head against the cool of the wood Not doing what I "must," just doing what I could I’m not chasing after lightning, I’m not running for the coast I’m just sitting with the quiet, and I like it more than most. Bridge I’m behind the glass A heavy heart that doesn’t need to pass I’m not scared to stay They can’t "cure" you They can’t reach you They can’t silence the pain that taught you. Chorus The wounds are deep and I’m still not fine But I’ll claim this ache until the end of time 'cause It's what I have to do And baby I’m here for you (ooh) The pain goes deep and I’m still not fine I’m wearing the scars and I’m doing just alright 'cause Oh, baby I hurt (ooh) But baby I’m here to make it work
