You know that I could never understand how you could sell your soul so cheap
And I know that all the pain inside has left it’s mark and cut you oh, so deep
And when I think of all the things we went through I can understand the reasons why
You don’t trust a living soul, and you hold it to yourself, on the inside
If I could see it through your eyes,
I’d see the pain you hold inside
If I could see what you could see,
well I’d see it cut so deep, cut so deep
So I’m looking at all the things I’ve learned, all the bitter truths of a life gone wrong
But if you listen closely, you can hear me sing a brand new song
‘Cos when all is said and done, and your heart is finally laid bare
Salvation is the key to all the mysteries we tried to share
And if I could see it through your eyes,
I’d see the pain you hold inside
If I could see what you could see,
well I’d see it cut so deep
And if I could feel it through your skin,
I’d know the pain you hold within
If I could feel what you must feel,
well I’d feel it cut so deep, cut so deep
And I could never change your mind, but I’ll stand right here, right by your side
I could never be so blind as to stand and watch you bleed,
When you’re cut so deep
Cut so deep
