lyrics

DIG THIS © Glenn Bowie, Cindy Dell, Sue Leonard, Brennagh Burns
Socan, BMI, ASCAP
I WAS TOO BUSY FALLING TO FLY
TOO BUSY DROWNING TO SWIM
TOO TIRED TO ASK YOU WHY
DID YOU LOVE ME LOVE ME ON A WHIM

Chorus:
WE’RE GONNA DIG DOWN PAST THE HEART
CUT RIGHT THROUGH TO YOUR SOUL
YOU KNOW IT COULD TEAR US APART
IF WE DIG THIS BIG BAD HOLE

I’M NO GOOD WITH GOODBYES
EVEN WORSE WITH REGRETS
SO I’M GONNA SEVER THIS TIE
SEE HOW CLOSE TO THE BONE IT GETS

Chorus

I KEEP SAYING IT’S YOUR FAULT
PLEASE TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
YOU COULDN’T MAKE UP YOUR MIND
I SEE IT NOW BUT I WAS BLIND
GONNA DIG DOWN PAST THE HEART
DON’T WORRY IT WON’T LEAVE A MARK
CUT RIGHT THROUGH TO YOUR SOUL
GONNA DIG THIS BIG BAD HOLE

I WAS TOO BUSY FALLING TO FLY
TOO BUSY DROWNING TO SWIM
TOO TIRED TO ASK YOU WHY
DID YOU LOVE ME LOVE ME ON A WHIM

Chorus
