Why do you say things if you do not mean them?
Why do you fill up my wounds with your dirt?
Bullets of fire, this time I can't shield them
Santa Maria, I know how it hurts'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never healWhy do you make me believe we are spirits?
Mourning together to conquer this earth (mourning together)
Climb up the mountains, so high we can see them
Then send me to plummet with savaging words'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never healI am covered in scars
Like a rose without thorns
My defenses are gone
No one's out there to warn
If there's love in your heart
Let me leave now in peace
You know you took it too far'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never healYou cut me deep, you cut me so deep
You cut me deep, you cut me so deep
You cut me deep, you cut me so deep
You cut me deep, you cut me so, so, so, soYou cut me deep, you cut me so deep yeah
You cut me deep you cut me so
