SALT

You clean your teeth before you bite Why is it me you have to spite? I gave in, my flag's white And suddenly you're so contrite I used to draw hearts 'round your name Now I just draw blood to face another day (Without you by my side to pull my heart) And you know I'm not one to make a scene (The bitter taste of kerosene) But I'm gonna love to see you scream Pouring salt in my cuts Tears make up my blood now Twist the knife in my gut To break all my trust I thought the worst was over Thought you held me like a lover Star-crossed in the middle of summer Torn apart like a paperback, drawn on Never though we'd be so self-serving Breaking me down to nothing Pouring salt in my cuts Tears make up my blood now Twist the knife in my gut To break all my trust You pull the same thing every night Why do we still have to fight? I gave up, my flag's white Just to pretend we're alright Pouring salt in my cuts, is this what we really want? Tears make up my blood, all of this, not my fault Twist the knife in my gut, to think you gave me the time To break all my trust, drained all the blood from my heart
