[Verse 1]
Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me, has one of them got my name?

[Chorus]
What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed?
The cut runs deep

[Post-Chorus]
Wow, oh..
The cut runs deep!
Oh yeah
The cut runs deep!

[Verse 2]
I can't find no salvation
Can't find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you too much
[Chorus]
What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed?
The cut runs deep

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
The cut runs deep!
Yeah, yeah
The cut runs deep!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
No!
The cut runs deep!
Ooh, the c-c-cut
The cut runs deep!
[?]
The cut runs deep!
'Cause I want you too much

[Organ Solo]
[Chorus]
What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
(The cut runs deep!)
Turning the knife
The cut runs deep

[Chorus]
Whoa
What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
Ooh, it doesn't fade away
(The cut runs deep!)
Turning the knife
The cut runs deep

[Repeat until fade-out]
