Album Track — This Long Broken Road
Cut Me a Little Deeper
Dawson McCoy — September 3, 2025
The Story Behind the Song
Written from inside a marriage vow that got broken anyway -- "forsaking all others" turned out to be conditional. It's the sound of someone realizing the betrayal wasn't a single moment but a slow accumulation, and asking, bitterly, what they did to deserve it. The title phrase becomes almost sarcastic by the end -- an invitation dressed as an accusation.
