New Salt

If I wasn't lonely in a hotel room
I wouldn't have answered
If you weren't drunk on the west coast
You wouldn't have called
I've put in a lot of time and cryin'
Trying to cut out the cancer
But hearing your voice
Yeah, it's like you never killed me at all
Yeah, you say
It's just like a movie
Do you remember
The things you did to me?
'Cause I remember
And just for a second
Those days were better
But I know bettеr
Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiraling
Right back down a brokеn road
Saying things you
Should've said years ago
Making it burn
So, excuse me if I'm mad
Coming in lying
Making it sound like the truth
Ain't it just like you
Putting new salt in an old wound?
Why do pretty words make it so hard
To remember you're selfish?
Oh, no! (Yeah)
You don't really want to have me you
Just wanna know you could
Oh no! (Yeah)
The way that it stings
Is so familiar
So many things
Too familiar
Don't want to be stupid
Yeah, but
Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiraling
Right back down a brokеn road
Saying things you
Should've said years ago
Making it burn
So, excuse me if I'm mad
Coming in lying
Making it sound like the truth
Ain't it just like you
Putting new salt in an old wound?
Now I'm falling asleep
Thinking 'bout you
Like I forgot how to dream
Without you
I haven't done that in ages
Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiraling
Right back down a brokеn road
Saying things you
Should've said years ago
Making it burn
So, excuse me if I'm mad
Coming in lying
Making it sound like the truth
Ain't it just like you
Putting new salt in an old wound?
That 2AM call
Breaking down my, down my walls
That 2AM call
New salt
