Deeper
Plan B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a post behind the broken heart that may stop
And you restarted without me, without me
Now I'm not around to blame, does the hurt still feel the same?
How was the air inside those lung, those same ones
That still breathe without me, without me
Knew you would find your own way, you'd be better than okay

Got your footprints running up in my head (up in my head)
Trampling over my mind (trampling over my mind)
In your opinion you'd be better out there
But who's better off now?

The thorn in my side, my rose from another life
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper
They weigh you down, how deep, some wounds don't ever heal
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper, no, no

I'm the wild one who you tried to cage, that broke the chains
Now I roam free without you, without you
It's a jungle where I'm at, but I rule my habitat

Got your footprints running up in my head
Trampling over my mind
In your opinion you'd be better out there
Bloody wounds, planning on dying

The thorn in my side, my rose from another life
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper
They weigh you down, how deep, some wounds don't ever heal
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper, no, no
No, no
No, no
No, no

In my own way I had your back
Without a spine, how could you walk?
Had you hanging off my every word
Gave you every chance to talk

Girl I would wither, ain't no doubt without you
(Wither, ain't no doubt without you baby)
Though these tears would never dry without you babe
(Tears would never dry without you babe)

No, no
The thorn in my side, my rose from another life
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper
They weigh you down, how deep, some wounds don't ever heal
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper, no, no

The thorn in my side, my rose from another life
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper




They weigh you down, how deep, some wounds don't ever heal
Nothing cuts deeper, deeper, no, no

Nothing cuts deeper, deeper
Nothing wounds more profoundly


They weigh you down, how deep, some wounds don't ever heal
These wounds burden and affect you deeply, and some wounds never truly heal
